Hi all so I’m taking cats claw and Japanese knotsweed and astralagus, at the moment I have increased the dosage slowly and now taking 15 drops of each twice a day.

I know buhners protocol suggests 3 times a day but it just isn’t convenient, do you think it matters?

I always had a hard time with taking tinctures three times a day. Noontime and bedtime are reserved for Magnesium and probiotics.

I usually take herbals in early am and dinner time along with ABX and compatible supplements. I up my herbal dosage a bit for twice a day.

Do what you can

One of Stephen Buhner's recommended herbalists - said 4 X per day would be best.

If you can only do two X a day - I'm sure it will be fine.

I also struggled with this issue, but after reading about a Buhner herbalist suggesting to a forum member that they needed to take it more to get better, I did start taking them 3 X day.

I believe its so that you keep a continuous amount of the herbals in your system, for the same reasons we take a abx or other medicines so many times a day.

This way you have better coverage fighting the infections.

I mix my lunch time tinctures in a small bottle and bring to work.

But Girlie is correct taking them 2x day if that is all you can do is better than none.

Hang in there and take care, Jo
