Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 I have some Serenoa repens (Saw palmetto) 1:4 45% alcohol tincture which I want my husband to take for his enlarged prostate. However he refuses to because it tastes decidedly soapy when diluted in water. I have had it in for over a year in a cool place. Should it taste like this or has it gone off?? Has anyone got any out there they could taste and test for me please?? Regards, Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 Dear Rochelle, That is the signature for Saw Palmetto. The higher the quality, the soapier it tastes. Good stuff, get it down him.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 Dear Doc, Thanks for that but you should have seen his face when I read out your reply!!! It was a picture!! To shut him up I am going to order some more from a small company that only uses organic tinctures and says that this particular product is " decocted " . I have tasted their products before and have to admit that they do tend to taste better than the usual ones I buy!! If I can ever get him to take it how much do you suggest? I was thinking in terms of 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) twice a day as there is no way he will take anything 3x a day!! He has been diagnosed as having a rather enlarged prostate which causes stopping and starting during urination particularly in the morning. However he doesn't have to get up in the night. According to the Doctor it has become a lot larger. Husband has more sense than to get it operated on!!! All the very best, Rochelle herbal remedies, " Ian Shillington N.D.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 Rochelle, The tinctures that taste good and not like they should taste most likely have no herb in them! Use the good stuff now and let him suffer through the taste or tell him to let the doctors butcher him up now. It is his choice nasty tincture to heal or no more sex.
