The tincture comes ready to use in liquid form — there is no need to brew it or prepare it in any other way. Herbal food supplements of this kind are usually added to a small amount of water or warm tea and taken with meals: this helps reduce the burden on the stomach and makes taking it more comfortable.
Since it contains motherwort and valerian — herbs traditionally associated with a relaxing effect — the tincture is chosen when you want to relax and switch off after a busy day; it is taken according to the regimen on the label, though — 1 tablespoon (15 ml) 3 times a day with meals, not only in the evening. The peppermint in it adds a mild, refreshing taste, which makes taking it more pleasant.
The specific dosage and course duration are stated by the manufacturer on the packaging — these are the figures to go by, as they are calculated for this particular product. Do not exceed the recommended amount in the hope of a stronger effect: plant components have a cumulative action, and taking too much of them does not speed up the result.
If you are already taking any medicines or other food supplements with a similar action, it is best to consult a specialist before combining them.
