tincture for snoring?

Hi Angela,

 

If it were me, I'd take two dropperfuls of Lobelia before bed time and

no more than 3 maximum all at one time or spread out over a few minutes.

 

A lot of this depends on a person's weight and your question having to

do with a 9 month old is very applicable here.

 

You want to use the 150 Rule when it comes to dosages. On all my

internal tinctures, the standard dosage (2 dropperfuls, 3 times a day)

is based on this 150 Rule = the average weight of most men and women

combined.

 

Take the weight of the person or child and put their weight over 150

and then reduce the fraction.

 

Example: A woman weighs 155 lbs, welllllllllll she'd just use the

standard dosage of 2 dropperfuls, 3 times a day as 155 / 150 is too

close to normal to really reduce any further, however, a child that

only weighs 50 lbs would have their dosage cut down to 50/150 = 5/15 =

1/3rd the regular dosage = only 2 dropperfuls spread throughout the

entire day such as half a dropperful 4 times a day. Your nine month

old would probably only weigh around 18 lbs so would get an even

smaller dosage = 18 / 150 = 6/50 = 3/25 = approximately 1/8th the

normal dosage. At this stage of the game, we'd need to go to drops,

not dropperfuls. There are approximately 32 to 36 drops in a

dropperful (remember, we're not talking rocket science here) so your 18

pounder would get 1/8th of standard dosage = 2 dropperfuls, 3 times a

day or a total of approx 34 drops times 6 = 204 drops divided by 8 =

approx 26 drops a day. Spread out to 3 times a day, that would be

approx 8 drops in the morning, 8 at noon and 8 in the evening.

 

Very Important: You'll see above where I rounded off a couple of the

numbers and because we're NOT talking rocket science here, you can get

away with this. My rule of thumb is to always start off small and work

up to larger amounts when it comes to dosages. This is always the

safest way to do this especially when working with children or the

elderly.

 

I've never seen anyone permanently hurt using herbs and herbal

preparations regardless of how stupid they were when it came to

dosages, however, you can get very uncomfortable if you start off with

too big a dose. We need to use our common sense here. If it were my

infant, at that age, I'd actually start off with one drop, 3 times a

day and up it to 8 as soon as I was assured there were no adverse

reactions or major detox turning on. My Grand Daughter Zea (only 15

months old and 24lbs) = Kelly's baby, can knock back 3 full dropperfuls

of Lobelia over a ten minute period with no adverse effects whatsoever

and she's been taking it since she was about 4 months old. Soooooo,

yes, start small but work up, as and when you can, and you'll get

better results.

 

In Knowledge, Health, & Freedom,

 

Doc
