Dosing

Dosing Tinctures Internally

The adult dose is 1/4 - 1

teaspoon several times daily.

Start with low end of dose and

work your way up as needed.

Many tinctures can also be used topically

by applying them directly to the body. This

can be especially useful for pain, itching,

muscle spasms, infections, etc…

● For open wounds, make a wound spray

from a tincture of the Poultice Formula

by adding 1 tsp tincture to 2-4 oz water in a

spray bottle.

● Unless there is an open wound, just use the

topical tinctures undiluted.

I do not recommend herb use in children under two years of age without consulting a qualified practitioner. When I do use herbs for children I dose them based on weight compared to an adult...1/2 an adult...1/3 of an adult etc...

All of our formulas were created so that they could use in either humans or in dogs and cats.  Tinctures can also be used.  For chronic or maintenance issues, twice daily is usually sufficient. For acute situations, dosing can be done more frequently.
