Tinctures-
Herbal extracts made in alcohol. We use 100% Proof Vodka making our formulas “Gluten Free”. This form of medicine is most appropriate for adult use. Dosage can be 30-60 drops every 2-4 hours. For acute or sudden onset taking the 30-60 drops every 1-2 hours up to 8 hours is appropriate.
Glycerides - (Little's Care)
Herbal extracts made in vegetable glycerin. This form of medicine is appropriate for children and people who avoid alcohol. For a child, dosage would be around 20-30 drops every 2-4 hours. Not for use on babies less than 10 lbs or 2 months of age without supervision and advice of a midwife or other medical professional. For an adult the dose would be 90-120 drops as glycerides are not as strong as alcohol tinctures.
Teas, Sitz Bath, etc. -
To make a medicinal dose of herbal tea you must make a stronger extraction to be more effective. To make an infusion, bring 1-2 qts of water to a boil. Turn off the burner and add ¼ c.- ½ c. herbs. Place the lid on the pan and let sit for at least 2-4 hours for best results. Strain and drink a cup up to every 2-4 hours. Infusions can also be made as “Sun Tea”, left in the sun for at least 4-6 hours.
