LOTS...and often :) :) :) Re: How to take Echinacea Tincture?

You can mix Echinacea Tincture with ANYTHING you'd like.

It has a bit of a numbing effect (depending upon how long you hold it in your mouth, how much you take and how diluted it is when you take it).

I find that this somewhat 'enhances' the effect of certain herbs...to me, it makes cayenne seem hotter, and the flavors of others to linger. Perhaps that's just me (???)

From Dr. Schulze :
Dosage: Method #1, (General Immune BOOST) use 2 dropperfuls (70 drops) 6 times a day for 6 days, consume one entire 2 oz. bottle. Do this for one or two weeks, or

Method #2, (Cold or Flu) use 1 dropperful (35 drops) EVERY hour you are AWAKE consuming ½ fluid ounce a day for 4 days, or

Method #3, (Serious Illness, Infection, Toxic Bite) use 2 dropperfuls (70 drops) EVERY hour you are AWAKE consuming 1 fluid ounce a day for 2 days

CAYENNE is the BEST HERB to STIMULATE circulation and makes these already POWERFUL Immune Herbs MANY TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE!
GARLIC is the BEST, MOST EFFECTIVE Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic, Antiviral, Antifungal and Antiparasitic Herb known!!
ECHINACEA and GARLIC are the Herbal Dynamic Duo!

And yes, again! You will read all KINDS of various dosage instructions from Dr. Schulze on Echinacea. I take 8 droppersful nightly, and have for months. There have been a couple times in the last year when I've woken up in the middle of the night sneezing my head off and draining like a fire-hydrant...I stumbled into the kitched, opened up the 4 oz tincture bottle, and took a couple of big gulps.

Native Americans used to chew on the root to beat rattlesnake bites & rabies. So I thought I'd see how a fresh root was compared to a tincture. I chewed a 2" root for about 15 minutes, and my whole mouth became "novacaine numb" for almost an hour. I have NEVER been able to achieve that level of 'numb' with the tincture (even though what I make is stronger than anything I've ever tested). I don't think any of us need to worry about 'overdoing it' with the tincture :::grin::: - well, unless their mouth becomes so numb they start drooling. Then that might be a little on the excessive side :)

Great question, Tierra - thanks for asking :)
