Sida acuta starting dose?

My doc who is versed in Buhner's told me to start at 5 drops per day, working up to 5 drops 3x/day and ultimately 30 drops 3x/day

For Sida acuta powder,Pg 419-420
Buhner has as a dosage: a hot tea;
1-2 tsp of the powdered leaves in 6 oz water, let steep fifteen minutes, drink 1-2 X daily.
In acute conditions he says 10 cups a day.

I would start very slowly since you say you are sensitive. Buhner says that these are only recommended doses, some people don't need full doses. I didn't get to full doses until 9 months into using Buhner.

Everyone is different. I only use tinctures so Hopefully more members with experience will chime in too.

Make sure of side effects and contradictions before starting any herbal.


Take care, Jo

I'm doing buhners drops. I started at 1 drop. I'm chicken

I tried Sida Acuta drops - 1 drop. I also tried some of the other herbs IHA - 1 drop, Lion's Mane - 3 drops, and cat's claw powder - 1/16th tsp. I got worse inflammation and joint/tendon pain. I'm still suffering 2 weeks later. I am very sensitive and keep having to stop and start over. Today all I took was knotweed but feel no relief. I'm worried the inflammation is going out of control. I hate this.

Just start with one herb and one or two drops ....and raise it by one or two drops every few days, by adding in a second dosing and then a third.
Then raise the dose by a drop or two every few days.
If you get a reaction - pain..etc.then drop back to previous dosing and stay at that dose for awhile before trying to up it again.

After a few weeks on the one herb, you can add in a second herb - again very low - one or two drops.
