Steep a teaspoon or tablespoon in 6oz of water, they said. Drink it up 1-3x/day they said.

GOOP! It turned into GOOP! Now I have swallow this slimy, mucusy glop that has so much surface tension that it has negative surface tension because it still remains viscously attached to the "liquid" from which I attempted to separate it from in the vessel below. Sloopy goop gulp the slime it slides down like an eel.

Mind you, this is a brew that includes Japanese Knotweed and Cat's Claw.

Oh, the things I do to get better.

yep - sida is a some what mucilaginous plant

many herbs have somewhat unconventional or unusual tastes - i take the view that - if its what it takes to get better - then its more than worth it - and try to celebrate the unusualness of them

i take most of them as tinctures now - and some i quite like the taste of - sida tincture and eleuthero are two of my favourites - knotweed is very astringent - almost burnt flavoured

if you struggle with the palatability due to the texture - you could try tinctures

the other option is to put the powdered herbs in capsules - but i found it too much of a pfaff - and find tinctures super convenient - once you get your head around the work needed to make them

SOMEwhat mucilagenous? Hah!

No, I rather enjoy comically celebrating the goopiness of this plant. Tinctures don't work for me for various reasons. This is fine. It's just ridiculous, hilarious, and beautiful.
