Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi all, I am looking for single herb granules packaged in single dose quanities that I can use to start a pharmacy. I have been using herbal tinctures which has worked well, but I thought it would be easier if I could find a company that made pre-packaged single dose herbs. Any insight into patient compliance with granules. I haven't used them before. Also, any suggestions on better ways to consume would be appreciated. Thanks, Heather Vandeburg LAc MSOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the benefit of these individual packets is that you don't end up with the powders in the air leaving an earthy thick dust over everything in the room. However, I think its a lot of work for the patient to always have to open them up, but probably not a big deal for them. -al. -- , DAOM Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 What do you mean by single dose quantities? I own an herbal pharmacy in Berkeley, CA.I mix up the herbs in a small, contained space with an air filter that is not a treatment room and give the client a gram spoon and a plastic bottle of herbs that they can carry around with them.The normal dose is 3 grams tid or 4 grams bid if they prefer. There is some dust but its a minor issue. Frankly, I find that this is pretty easy and compliance is good. Opening lots of little packets seems a bit tedious and cumbersome both the patient and the practitioner to administer.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 >Thanks for the info. Do you have any advice on better ways of taking powdered herbs. My experience is limited. In the past I have tried mixing with water which was not much fun (very clumpy). I also have taken powder directly which leaves quite an after-taste. I thought granules would be better than powders. My thought on packets was not as messy and better shelf life. I guess what I meant by single dose quanities was 3-6g for most herbs, more packets would be used if needed. > Thanks, Heather > What do you mean by single dose quantities? > > I own an herbal pharmacy in Berkeley, CA.I mix up the herbs in a small, contained space with an air filter that is not a treatment room and give the client a gram spoon and a plastic bottle of herbs that they can carry around with them.The normal dose is 3 grams tid or 4 grams bid if they prefer.
