How often should I take my herbal remedies?

Question

Nkosi · Accepted Answer

Most forms of herbal mixture should be taken no more than 6 days in a row with a rest on the seventh day. Then resume the following day, allowing the body time to do its own works.

Capsules - According to studies and my personal experiences, herbal combinations in capsule form work best when the dosage decreases over a week’s time. For example, one would take 6 capsules the first day, 5 the second day, 4 the third day, 3 the fourth day, and 2 the fifth day, and for the remainder of the week remembering to rest on the seventh day. On the eighth day continue taking 2-3 capsules daily always remembering to rest on the seventh day. Please, remember to take capsules with warm drink.

Tinctures - For the first week, 10-15 drops can be held under the tongue 3 or 4 times daily with a rest on the seventh day. After continuing the eighth day, the dosage can be reduced to 10-15 drops 1 or 2 times per day, remembering to rest on every seventh day.
