SLEEP DISORDERS
BOTANICALS such as Mother Tinctures (MT) contain a certain degree of alcohol which is reduced by dilution to 1X, but Gemmotherapics (1D) are better since they contain the strongest power of the plant. The usual amount of drops to be taken depends on plant toxicity and patient sensitivity. It is better to start low and increase progressively: adults, 50 to 100 drops per day – elderly and children over 60 pounds, 10 to 40 drops.
