to take your herbs.

I have days when I am so slow in the brain department. I take my vitamins in pill form out of my morning and night daily containers. No problem. I generally get my morning herbs done but like today - I get busy doing intense concentration work and I draw a blank if I took my morning herbs or not. I did the same thing last night. I had a Board of Directors meeting at 7 pm and when I got home at 9, I asked my husband "did I take my herbs before I left for the meeting?" He assured me I did but I do not remember the action because I was so focused on the meeting - I am the clerk and it is stressful to take minutes.

So do you have a gimmick that helps you remember that you took your herbs. I am thinking of ways, but wonder what others do.

edited to add: I think I forget because it is getting to be a routine action and I am not thinking about it.

I write it down when I take them....when I remember to do that...lol


i have at times taken my first antibiotic, and then put the second one in my housecoat pocket...as I like to space them apart by 15 min to half hour. (just my thing) So, I wait until I take the second one to write down that I took them.

And, an hour or so later...I remember that I forgot to take the second one.


Its a challenge for sure.

I am going to make magnets 1, 2, and 3 and when I take mine put them on the refrigerator.

That was the only way I can think of that I can remember but I wondered if someone had a more clever idea.

I only write down when I up a dose or add an herb.

I had all my herbs on my kitchen island and it was a depressing thing to see. I cleaned a corner of the kitchen counter to hide the massive amounts of bottles I have out.

They take up so much room! They're in on my counter in the corner of the kitchen - but that's where I also do my food prep...so they're in the way!!!!

I like them in my corner because the sun does not go there at all and it is a very cool spot in my kitchen. The island got sun and the other counters are either too close to the stove or too close to the coffee pot - both too warm.

You sure said it when you said they're in the way.

I've taken over the corner of the counter too - now hubby has joined in!! We have a 2.5 ft section of the counter covered in pills or herbs! LOL! shocked

I use my phone alarms to know when to take things, and would write on the top of each bottle how many times a day and how many/much each dose.

I have these little dose cups that come with things like children's tylenol or other things - and I use those to set my pills out daily.

When I was doing medicinal teas, I would put them in one of those 'safe' water bottles, and would mark on it how much to drink for each 'dose'.

When I finished something or needed to take a break from something for some reason, I would write it on the calendar, along with any changes I made.

My hubby has taken over a kitchen cupboard shelf. And he hasn't started treating lyme yet. He reads about something and buys it...then it falls by the wayside.
Whenever I do an order for Woodland Essence or Sage Woman Herbs - he's looking over my shoulder...saying "Oh, I'd like to try that - order me that" LOL

LOL!! You're lucky. Getting my hubby to try something new - especially a new supplement or herb - I might as well be telling him he needs to have surgery - without anesthesia! He does give in on some things though, like turmeric, and ginger when his stomach is off.
