Do you know how to properly dose herb tinctures?

I would like to share with you some of my perspectives and tips on how to figure out a dose for tinctures. I also will share with you 3 main ways that I take tinctures.

Oat straw is a favorite herb for nervous system support, especially when our nerves feel frayed, edgy, frazzled, or burnt out.

Oat straw is the stem and leaf of the plant that gives us the grain, oats. It has a similar mild, sweet, nutritious taste.

Oat straw is loaded with protein, minerals, and vitamins.

Drinking oat straw infusion can help build strong and flexible bones, calm nerves, ease depression, soothe and restore mucous membranes in the lungs, digestive tract, reproductive organs, and the skin.

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense), makes a nourishing herbal infusion that tastes similar to earl grey tea.

It is made with 1 ounce of dried blossoms, steeped in 1 quart of boiling water, covered tightly, for 4-8 hours. I think it tastes best when it is cold, right out of the fridge or over ice. It would also be nice with a little honey or other sweetener added. I like to drink at least 1 quart of Red Clover blossom infusion one day per week.

The infusion is anti-cancer, hormone moderating, improves reproductive health and lymph flow, and is considered a blood tonic.

Red Clover contains a range of vitamins, minerals, protein (15-20%), and phytosterols.

What are phytosterols? They are basically plant chemicals that our gut flora can turn into hormones. Red Clover phyotsterols are often called phytoestrogens. They are known to turn into a compound that mimics estrogen, binding to our receptors, thereby blocking the more harmful estrogens, including our own estradiol and xenoestrogens from our environment.

Comfrey is a wonderful herb that is often misunderstood and, therefore, used with caution. It is an herb that can teach us how to be in "right relationship" with a plant.

Comfrey leaf is full of minerals, vitamins, mucilage, protein, allantoin, and other beneficial phytochemicals.

It improves the health of the hair, skin, and nails.

It helps maintain strength and flexibility in tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones. It also has the ability to repair injured tissues.

It soothes and restores mucous membranes of the body including the digestive system, respiratory system, urinary system, and reproductive organs.

It is known to improve short term memory and to be anti-inflammatory.

I make a nourishing herbal infusion with dry comfrey leaf and drink one or two quarts a week, on average.
