TAKING HERBAL TINCTURES
Tinctures are a very handy way of taking
herbs as they can be easily carried around in pockets or a
handbag and taken as drops straight on the tongue or in a
small amount of water or fruit juice. The average amount of
alcohol in a tincture is 45% some people may not want to take
the small amount of alcohol in any dose, so we suggest that
the drops are added to a glass of boiling water. This will
evaporate some of the alcohol. The mixture can then be taken
warm or cold after about 5 minutes. Dose is very individual,
however the average adult dose would be 1/2 to 1 teaspoon
(5ml) of tincture 3 x daily taken in water or juice. The herbs
are absorbed in about 15 minutes and generally go to the required
area shortly afterwards, taking a little longer to go into
the colon). Remember that all tinctures should be complemented
with a healthy diet, herb teas and a healthy lifestyle for
optimum results.
Using herbs and other natural methods is the greatest way
to enhance health and to safely prevent illness. Taking responsibility
for our own health is the greatest step for any healing and
a great way to change the world for the better.

WHAT IS DETOXIFICATION?
Natural practitioners over the centuries have understood that
your body's ability to eliminate waste is the key to good
health, vitality and good energy levels.
Detoxification is the process of encouraging your organ systems
to excrete potentially harmful chemicals that appear within
the body.
This can be harmful substances such as: lead, mercury, additives,
dyes, hormones, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and petrochemicals
and all sorts of pollutants from the air, water and food supply
that we ingest. The body naturally accumulates toxins as a
result of normal metabolism, all of these unwanted substances
can sometimes get too much for the body and it fails to detoxify
properly. This can give rise to all types of problems such
as fatigue, bowel and digestive problems, headaches and an
array of many symptoms and diseases. In all forms of traditional
medicine such as Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine use detoxification
as a method of improving health through herbs and diet.
