Guest guest Posted February 6, 2000 Report Share Posted February 6, 2000 Dear Ian, Some time ago I made a Tincture to help a friend with Hypothyroidism. She had been to hospital and they gave her various medications which were not working. She was extremely tired, loosing weight and could not work. I did some research and suggested that she continue the medication advised by the doctors but I came to the conclusion that she needed some herbal help. It worked. She stopped losing weight, could sleep and has now gone back to work The first tincture I made for her was Gotu Kola Tincture.( 5 partsGotu Kula and 1 partCayenne Pepper)She took I dropperful 2 times a day. After a week on Gotu Kua, I got her to take a tincture made (basically)from a recipe I found in Dr. james Dukes book (The Green Phrmacy) I altered it a bit to fit her explicit condition. It was made of:- 1 part Gentian 1 part Red Pepper 2 parts Kelp 2 Part Saw Palmetto Berry 1 Part Mustard Seed. I used Vodka as the tincture medium for each tincture. She took this 3 times a day. Each tincture was to be pulsed (take for three weeks and stop for one week) which is why I suggested starting the Gotu Kola first. Also GK is specifically good for the Thyroid Gland and I wanted the Thyroid to be 'helped " a little before we hit the body with the second formula. As she wasn't eating, the Gotu Kola actually helped the appetite before we got onto the next tincture.... Just thought I'd let you know how this got on as I remember asking your advice on it as well.....Much love Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
