I'm finding the full dose of the herbal tinctures I'm on to be a bit too much alcohol for me. I feel like I get a little tipsy after I take them blush I take them in some water, not straight out of the dropper. But then again I've always had a low tolerance for alcohol.

Any ideas? Would glycerites be better?

Gycerites aren't a bad idea. I tolerated tinctures pretty well but I was on abx and not supposed to have any alcohol so I would make tea, put the tinctures in with the steaming hot water and let the alcohol evaporate. Some actually put tinctures in boiling water too to reduce the alcohol.

I just did the math, and something like 2 droppers (~30 drops each) of 80% tincture (which is a bit high) is around 1 ounce of beer.

Low tolerance indeed. blush

Hopefully someone can give you a good suggestion here. (edit: didnt notice the post above me tongue )

Sayyadina people with tick borne diseases usually have a problem with their gut which means high levels of yeast and/or candida. Yeast produces alcohol and I personally know someone whose alcohol levels from a systemic yeast infection were so high that had she been driving she would have gotten an OUI. It might be a good idea to get tested for yeast to see how much help you need in that area. I had to take something called Gut Cleanse and I feel much better after it. Good luck!
