I routinely give a tincture formula and a tea formula, with those 2 formulas I usually can address most if not all of the issues I need to address with herbs. I prefer to keep things simple and not over burden patients with too many things to do our take, as well as financially. Of course I am slo dressing diet, lifestyle, supplements (try to keep this simple and a minimum as well), stress reductions, etc. Most herbs teas or tinctures are taken twice or three times per day (usually with meals to help people remember to take them, compliance is usually the biggest issue with patients ).
