Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 If you are talking about just an herbal tea infusion (herbs and water), it has to be refrigerated and will probably be good for about 7 days. As for Grapefruit Seed Extract - I would say no go for the eyes. I once got some on my tongue and I thought I was going to die. I couldn't even imagine getting it in my eyes. An infusion is so easy to make, I would just make small amounts and keep making new as needed. Have a wonderful day.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Can anyone tell me how long an infusion remains good? I make an infusion of eyebright for gunky eyes in a dog I'm fostering (worked great!) and I'm wondering how long I can keep it (these dogs tend to come in w/ slight eye infections). I'd also like to give some to the rescue director for the dogs at the farm . . . seems better (and cheaper) than the antibiotic ointment she uses now. Is it better to refrigerate it, or is it OK to store at room temp? I'm also wonderinga bout adding a drop or 2 of GSE . . . would that be safe to put in the eyes, or should I steer clear of it? Thanks bunches!! rox ______________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER! Only $14.95/ month - visit www.juno.com to sign up today!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Thanks, Patty. This si pretty much what I thought . . . the GSE sounded like a good idea, but I was vert leery of putting even a dilute amount in eyes. rox PACorapi writes: > If you are talking about just an herbal tea infusion (herbs and > water), it > has to be refrigerated and will probably be good for about 7 days. > As for > Grapefruit Seed Extract - I would say no go for the eyes. ______________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
