Whole herb verses concentrate

[Guest guest]

Hello, I am uncertain about how to order herbs from an oriental

pharmacy. The herb comes whole powdered but they also have a

concentrate which is 5 times stronger I think. This is the whole herb

cooked down and then dried. If I order this, do I take less than 4

caps, 4 times daily? How does on know the milligram dosages with

powered herb like this in a " 00 " cap? I am new to this obviously and

would welcome your help.

Hi and all,

I'm just seriously starting out on the buhner protocol, after dabbling here and

there. Now that i have more definitive diagnosis, i feel more comfortable

taking the herbs and going through whatever happens in the process.

I also bought some of the herbs in the concentrated form and had these

questions. The more i delve into the consiousness of Buhner's way of

using/teaching herbs (as well as other intuitive herbalists) the more i see how

very indidual the discerning process is.

For a while i was muscle testing myself, but then did some experiments having

friends hand me things randomly (my eyes closed) and i found that it simply was

not accurate.

So now i'm having other people muscle test me for amounts as often as i can get

that kind of help. I'm seeing that i have to get my mind out of the way for

tests to be accurate, so it does help to close one's eyes in the process.

Even if you don't do muscle testing, i'd suggest starting everything very

slowly. And one herb at a time. That way if there is a reaction, you can more

easily see what it might be.

I now have a very sensitive and intuitive LLMD who says that treating lyme and

co-infections is definitely an art, not a science. Surely Buhner would

agree.

Hope this helps!

Peace and ease....
