I'm going to transition to buhners basic protocol plus crypto and houtt. I'm on few cowden herbs now, working up my doseage after a break.

I know about starting slow and introducing one at a time.

With tinctures, at full dosage when (and if) you get there, what is the maximun amount of drops per dosage AND in a average situation, how many times a day should you take the herbal tinctures?

Thanks all, for your help!!

Buhner is pretty 'loose' with his recommendations. I use a combination of his books and the website based on his protocol to help guide me (look under maximum core dosages: buhnerhealinglyme.com/ or see below)

1. Japanese knotweed root (Polygonum cuspidatum)
• Tincture: ¼ – 1 tsp 3-6x daily

2. Cat’s claw bark (Uncaria tomentosa)
Tincture: ¼ – ½ tsp 3x daily

3. Andrographis (Andrographis paniculata)
• Capsules: Begin with a small dose and work up. I would recom­mend 600 mg (1 capsule) 3x daily to begin with, for one week. Then, if there are no side effects, increase the dose to 2 capsules 3x daily. Please check the side effects on this herb: Unpleas­ant allergic reactions can occur.

4. If you have neuroborrelliosis, add: Gou-Teng (Uncaria rhynchophylla)
• Tincture: ½ – 1 tsp 3–6x daily, depending on severity of brain infection.
5. Collagen support protocols (see book) are often essential, as well.


Do you have his book? Depending on the herb, there are different dosages, from 1/4 tsp to 1 tsp a day - and you can take some herbs 3 times a day and other up to 6 times a day.

The max dosage will be different for each individual. It is not set in stone to take "X" amount or try and get to "X" amount.

Hubby is 6'7" and he only got to a dropper full of J/K as his max dose. I am 5'6" and got to 2 droppers full. See, very individual.

As for how often. I did 3 times a day. I learned from an older Mod, that went to a Buhner herbalist, that she needed to go to 4 times a day. 3 was not enough for her.

Highly individual dosages and amount of times. This is where listening to your body really comes into play.

Thanks, I'm freaked out about starting 😐

LOL, PK. Just take it slow. You've been around long enough to know what to look for as far as herxing, so make sure that you are detoxing well, and taking your probiotics and such. And, don't forget, we are right here if you have questions.

Yeah but remember, there is nothing wrong with me

LOL - but I bet that doc would have said there was nothing wrong with me either - I had doc's telling me that for much of my life - and yet I was too ill to work, or do many things.

So, hang out with the rest of us that "have nothing wrong"!! turn

Don't be freaked, be excited to heal!!!

It was super time consuming for me. There were days when I had to take a lunch sized ice chest grocery shopping with me to hold my herbs and keep them cool while I shopped. All because I was going to be away from my house during "tincture time."

Hi Purrrsiankitty,
The best thing I like about the tinctures is that I can adjust and control the dosage easily.

I introduce them slowly and if I ever had an issue with one I just back off and went a bit slower.

When I first began I thought it would take forever to help doing it that way but I was so wrong.

I strongly believe the Buhner protocols have helped me immensely and still are.

Wishing you the best of healing with Buhner herbals, take care, Jo
