Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Thanks Henriette! Any book in particular? What is the average drop-dose? Do you personally use it a lot with your pts? Neelam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do 1-3 drops, on average, when I do drop doses. > Do you personally use it a lot with your pts? For some things I use it a lot, for instance paeonia root tinct for menstrual etc. troubles, which tastes ghastly and works nicely. I also use drop doses of pulsatilla, fresh herb, 1:2 95%, for people who need to get onto new tracks. And drop doses of a few other herbs. Of course, my whole approach is in drops when I give tinctures - 15-30 drops 2-3x /day (sometimes 30-60 drops 2-3x /day, depending on the herb); but then, dose is dependent on tincture strength, and with britmed tincture strenghts you have to go tea/tablespoons, more likely than not. More often than not, I usually go with teas, though.
