Dear Stephen,
I want to make a tincture from Stephania tetrandra (powdered) that was bought about 10 month ago. Can I use powdered herbs to make tinctures? What proportions in this case should be applied? Thank you in advance for reply.
Stephen’s response:
Yes, you can use powdered herbs. Use one part herb to 5 parts liquid. The liquid should be 65% alcohol and 35% water.

Dear Susun, I just got my first period since being on Vitex and already have a wonderful improvement. Now I need to decrease the duration and intensity of the bleeding.
Dear Susun, Is there something natural that would help with severe pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS)? I’m completely done with trying antidepressants. But I still suffer and could really use some help.
Dear Susun, Have you ever worked with adhesions? I have them all throughout my abdominal/pelvic area, esophagus, diaphragm, ribs, and lungs.
Hi Stephen :been to dr. with negative tests (WB and PR) no rash sign but most debilitating symptoms since tick bite 8 months ago. I want to do this protocol as I am having very debilitating neuro symptoms. Should I still find a physician that treats with antibiotics then do the protocol or begin the protocol in conjunction with antibiotics or no anitbiotics as I fear taking excessive antibiotics. Thank you so much for giving me hope as I am at my wits end since my physician has told me lyme doesn’t exist in Georgia and just keeps ordering tests…..EXPENSIVE with negative findings. She will not prescribe any antibiotic since test negative. Please let me no your thoughts. Thank you from a most grateful heart. xo Amelia
