Nettle Tincture
1oz
How many drops of tincture should I take, and how often:
Because it's a concentrate, you don't need that much. Herbalist Rosemary Gladstar offers a useful standard dosage for a 150lb adult:
Chronic Problems (i.e. allergies): 1/2 to 1 tsp, three times a day, under the tongue or in a little warm water
Acute Problems (i.e. a cold coming on): 1/4 to 1/2 tsp every 30 to 60 minutes until symptoms subside.
Of course, one size doesn't fit all, and optimal dosage will vary based on weight, a person's sensitivity to food & herbs, overall health, and the particular condition or health issue being treated.
For children under 12, we really like this Children’s Dosage Guide for recommendations. For bitters, we suggest 15 minutes before meals, and for them to be taken undiluted as is--the point is to taste the bitter flavors so that our digestive system responds.
Lastly, do your own research!! Pick just one herb, and dive into learning all about it.
