My mother is brilliant at this. If something is good for her it could taste like a lump of year ancient tuna-fish and she'd still force it down without a complaint.

Right now I have to drink this special herbal tea to alleviate myself internally. Only because i'm stunned at the results so far will i continue to force myself to down this 3 times a day!

Could you do it?
Answers:    yes for the most part, I would but put a bet on to your problem and a solution which I think is what you are hoping for

try this for your problem

I am going to tell you exactly how to do it so that will make this answer for a time long but you can save lots of money doing it this way and it is also the best way

Take the herbal tea since you brew it that is the dry herbs(which btw teas should always be made with distilled marine as it is empty and pulls more of the healing phytochemicals from the herbs) in the form of a tincture instead)..

Herbal tinctures are much more potent than teas and indubitably capsules and is a tiny fraction of the amount in the teas you are trying to choke down now plus you lose none of the benefits from the herb and in fact have more benefits when taking herbal tinctures instead of herbal teas (or capsule which are the most ineffective way to take herbs due to poor absorbability though, unhappily the most common)

They are very easy to make and you free about 90% over store cost

You will need a blender or better yet a vita mix or simply a jar and 80 proof vodka made from grain (cheapest brand is ok)

Any herbal tea can be made into a tincture. with a tincture instead of taking cups, you take drops. The menstrum is usually 80 proof vodka (A minuscule amount contained by the tincture) though sometimes vinegar or vegetable glycerin. A tincture is basically soaking or marinating the herbs that cure and prevent diseases
***********...
you need the following things
***********...

--the herb
--in order of best vitamix/blender/jar with lid
--80 proof vodka made from grains (cheapest brand ok)
--glass jar with lids if possible brown,. blue or green jar or paint outside of jar or when done put within a dark cupboard or in a paper backpack
--several layers of cheesecloth or thin natural fiber cloth to strain through
--a tincture bottle (they look approaching this and are usually brown or blue with a eyedropper top
-something to label the jar

***********...

see below how to make it

NOTE: if making a different herbal tincture (if making a different tincture use cut and shifted herb over powder which you can buy at bulk herbs at health food store or online organic or wildcrafted contain 7=10 times more of the beneficial chemicals than conventional herbs) if making a formula, mix them within the right portions--for instance one part red clover, 2 parts burdock roots, 4 parts chaparral, etc).

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE A TINCTURE
***********...

1. take your herbs you are going to use within this case the ones from the tea (remove from tea bag if not loose) and mix them near the vodka and blend adding more vodka if you need it.

try to estimate a 50-50 mix of herbs to gooey..blend or shake well

pour in a bottle (if using hard dried plant parts close to roots make want to crush it some first) or if you soak the herbs, after a few days remove it and chop it up some as it should soften
********

2. give either more herbs or more vodka so when it settles (use a clear bottle first like a mayo jar) the bottom of the jar is the solid herb and the top is half is liquid...you can go stronger beside 75% herbs and 25% vodka if you want
***********...

3. when you get the proportions right, shake it several times a day or whenever you ruminate of it
***********...
6. after 2 weeks (or longer), strain the mixture through a
cheesecloth or cotton cloth) squeeze all the tincture from the cloth (twist the cloth like a hobo bundle and squeeze so liquid falls into a container and herb stay in the cloth (I use a pan) then later put within the glass bottle
***********...

7. ALWAYS label the jar (ex--carrot tincture, lobelia tincture, detox formula) and put expires: and then put a date five years from the time you do it ex-if receive in June 2006 write on the label expires June 2011. The tincture will actually still be biddable far beyond the expiration date.

Dr Schulze said he drank 100 year old tinctures and they were still fine and potent.

***********...
8. Purchase a tincture bottle (a little
bottle usually blue or brown glass) with an eyedropper top or use an antediluvian tincture bottle from one you purchased when empty and re-label and put some of the tincture in there.

and verbs some of the strained tincture in there for immediate use a
***********...

9. for the rest, put the big tincture bottle contained by a dark place (light
deteriorate that's why they use blue/brown glass) or in a paper sack or paint the bottle, etc.
***********...

10. DOSE-The usually dose is 2 dropperfuls (or 60 drops) 3-5 times a morning..3 if just moderately sick/ 5 if very sick. A dropperful is found by doing the following: fully squeeze the empty eyedropper, put surrounded by the tincture. release the bulb, what remains in the eyedropper is one dropperful (it will usually look about 1/2 full..this is the approximate 30 drops and is (cont) Source(s): 30 years study of alternative health, herb and nutrition

cont from above

and is fine to do instead of counting each drop as herbs are
essentially foods--just more potent ones. 2 dropperfuls=60 drops, 3 dropperfuls = 90 drops, etc. Two dropperfuls (60 drops) is usually the standard dose for a 150 lb person.

If making a tincture for a pet, child,
or overweight individual use the following formula--place the weight of the person/pet on top of a fraction and 150 on the bottom of a fraction example a 30 pound dog would be 30/150=1/5 so 1/5th the adult dose 60 drops divided by 5 = 12 so 12 drops would be the dog's dose 3-5 times a sunshine.

A 50 pound child would be 50/150=1/3
so 1/3 the adult dose or 60 divided by 3 = 20 so 20 drops 3-5 xs a day is the child's dose. A 300 lb person would be 300/150=2/1=2 so 2 times (twice the ordinary amount

if you can these are most potent when make during a full moon and sitting a month but anytime and sitting two weeks is ok too

TASTE TIPS FOR TAKING YUCKY TASTING HERBS
***********...
if you do not like the taste mix your dose beside an equal amount of real maple syrup or honey or mix with a few spoons of frozen juice liquid concentrate diluted in water as grape is a strong tasting liquid.

This should be a lot easier to take than 3 cups of tea as it is just spoons of it, but more potent than the tea do the alcohol extracts more of the beneficial chemicals/nutrients from the plant than water and it is also instantly absorbed even if someone has digestion problems

If mom is startled to give the alcohol pour a little boiling water over the dose and the alcohol will dissipate

You immediately know how to make any tincture at a little fraction of the price, more useful and potent than most stuff on the bazaar

essentially herbs in capsules are useless..teas are honest but harder to make and tinctures are the best way to take herb.


if this is not sometime you will do, hold your nose when drinking it and for a few minutes after and chase with a strong juice although if it is a bitter herb this may interfere beside the properties

oh the tincture bottles look like this or blue ones http://www.specialtybottle.com/index.asp... they have the eyedropper tops

Is nearby any supplement that will combat..

Bless her, Mums are fantastic at that! I think it's a different age group thing, they have been brought up to perceive there is no choice when someone tells you to do something to make you grain better.
We have a lot more choices nowadays, so when we're asked to do one entry and there isn't an alternative, we feel a bit short-changed!
I drink something called Floradix, which is a drink made from fermented veg and fruits designed to angle iron levels. It tastes quite gross but because I know it does me so much flawless, I do it - it could be worse!
I try and remind myself how lucky I am to live in a country where I have medicine and remedies available to me.
Good luck and keep on drinking that tea!!
:-)

Does anyone know any alternative cures for..

I've been doing so for the second 3 years. I've had herbal preps made by my TCM practitioner that tasted like something from a cesspool, but they worked.

The one she give me for Mono was especially noxious, but it kept the inflammation in my lymph nodes down and washed the virus from my system surrounded by a month.

It was better than the alternative that the MD was giving me: 3 weeks in the hospital on steroids and 6 months bed rest.
