Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hi Dawn, Welcome to the group and feel free to join right in. The reason behind teas and tinctures as opposed to caps is the teas and tinctures work quicker. Caps have to dissolve and then the body needs to digest and break down the herbs. That is all. There is nothing wrong with taking caps.

My name isDawn and i'm currently taking a home study course in Herbalism. I'venoticed that most remedies are given in the form of "teas" or tincturesinstead of the easier and more convenient (IMO) capsules. I have neverseen any discussion or explanation as to why teas are more effectivecompared to capsules. Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this group.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hi Dawn, teas and tinctures are usually more readily absorbed by the body. Sometimes capsules are indicated, depending on the herbs used and for what. Like if you didn't want the herbs to be absorbed until they reached the intestines, then a capsule would be better.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Dear Dawn, The reason why teas and tinctures are king, is because the biochemicals of the herbs have already been extracted and are very assimilable. Powders in capsules can sometimes be next to impossible to absorb if a person's digestion is very poor or compromised.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Hello~ I am new to the group and very intrigued and interested to learn how to open up more communications and clarity for what I have already. I have a quick question about your letter and the energy testing... can you do this with me and what does it entail? I am curious to be guided or told what you or someone may be able to tell me about what I see, hear and feel from the spiritual word as well as hearing thoughts from people or " knowing " what may happen or sensing a spirit in a room, etc. and how I can improve or clarify it and use it to doing good for people. I will be checking the message board to find out more. Thank you! ~blessings, Pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
