To take an Herb TONIC as a tincture that means the dose is between 1/2 teaspoon to a full(1)
teaspoon, 3 X day. Start with 1/2teaspoon for thoseofyou who haveknown sensitivities or
allergy reactions, then ifyou feel fine increase it to full strength.Tinctures usually tastebad
and must be diluted with water, juice or whatever works for you.
Most Herbs that are taken for ongoing conditions (like building bone density, Longetevity,
stopping hot flashes)are taken 3-4 times a day,every day. That would be called a tonic. 3 X
day or 3-4 X day. In many Cultures everybody over 40 takes daily Beauty and Longetivity

When Sally told me how exhausted and fatigued she felt, I suggested Siberian
Ginseng(Eleuthrococcus Senticosis),as an Energy Tonic.That means taking a teaspoon of
Tincture 3 X DAY ,EVERYDAY.Mixing it in water, juice, etc.. and gulping it down.... 3 XDAY !
After a week or two, she called to tell me how Great she felt, and that her endurance and
stamina were coming back. I wasn't surprised, sinceEleuthrococcus well known to boost
energy levels. In fact,it was used in Russia by Olympic Athletes, to Cosmonauts, to factory
workers. And studied extensively.
Infusions is a fancy way ofsaying "tea". Just like when you make tea, you pour boiling water
over someleaves or flowers. That's what you do to make an infusion. A therapeutic dosewill
be one teaspoon per cup.and let it stay for 10-15 minutes. Then you can add sweetener,juice
or whatever you need to do to make it a Happy part ofyour routine.
If you are taking Herbs as Teas or infusions, then youshould drink 3 cups ofvery strong tea (1
teaspoon-cup) per day to see solid results.
