Description
Elderberry Tinctures are fast-acting, high-quality extracts. These extracts are used to treat conditions directly to the bloodstream.
Benefits can be felt within minutes.* They are highly effective compared to syrups.
- Elderberry Tinctures are made by extracting medicinal properties from herbs with the use of 80 proof alcohol or vegetable glycerine. We use vegetable glycerine and alcohol.
- Elderberry Tinctures take 4-6 weeks to mature. When you receive your tincture, it is ready to use! Small amounts are suitable for children (see dose information below). Should be taken orally as needed.
- Elderberry Tinctures are household staples because they have a shelf life of 3-5 years and do not need to be refrigerated. They can be added to teas, juice and etc.
Herbalist Susan Weed, the Author of the best selling Wise Woman Herbal, recommends a more specific dosage based on weight.
She prescribes 1 drop for every 2 pounds of body weight.
For adults and older children, she suggests an echinacea tincture dosage as follows:
50 to 100 pounds: 2 droppers full
100 to 150 pounds: 3 droppers full
150 to 200 pounds: 4 droppers full
200 to 250 pounds: 5 droppers full
None the less, for an average 150-pound adult, that’s a lot of echinacea tincture over the course of 2 to 3 days.
After that, she suggests tapering off to more occasional doses for a week or two to strengthen your immune system and prevent a relapse.
General recommendations are to take it for up to two weeks before pausing for another two weeks.
With those tincture dosage recommendations, how much echinacea tincture do you need to fight off a cold?
A dropper full is roughly 25 to 30 drops, and there are just under 100 drops to a teaspoon or around 600 drops to an ounce.
If you’re taking 3 to 4 droppers full, or roughly a teaspoon, every one to two hours, that’s a full one-ounce bottle in 6 to 12 hours.
When sick or experiencing acute symptoms, the full dosage can be administered every 1 to 2 hours. If you catch it before you’re really sick, every 3 to 4 hours should be sufficient.
