tinctures for bites
Posted: Mon May 29, 2006 9:15 pm
Hi Rochelle, I have just picked up on this earlier post of yours.
I, too, use herbalists's tinctures sometimes.
However, MTs are not necessarily equivalent to 1x's in material strength, at least not if you buy them in the uk. They are usually much stronger. (Even if they were 1 in 10 dilutions, which few if any are, they still would not be actual 1x's because the x indicates a succussed potency.)
This doesn't really affect what you are saying about external applications for insect bites but it is worth saying in case someone thinks they can use an MT as a safer alternative than the same dose of a herbal tincture.
