theherbalist,

On this forum we promote/follow the teaching of Dr. Christopher and Dr. Schulze, both of whom used parts (volume) not weight when making an herbal formula.

Therefore, on this forum, a part is whatever a person chooses to use.  A part could be a 1/4 cup or a 1/2 cup, and on and on. We do not weigh the herbs.

An example of the meaning of "equal parts" on this forum.

Echinacea tincture: 

1 part Echinacea Angustifolia root

1 part Echinacea Purpurea root

That formula calls for "equal parts".  That 1 part could be a cup or a cup and a half or whatever we choose to use.

If the Echinacea tincture called for 1 part Angustifolia root and 2 parts Purpurea root, then it would not be "equal parts" but the parts would still be measured by volume not by weight.
