capsule dilemma ideas

[JeanStudent]

1. If I absolutely need to use a capsuled product, I keep it in my mouth until it dissolves somewhat and then swallow.

With Charcoal, one has to be careful because once that capsule gets to a certain point, the charcoal causes you to cough.  (and if you try to talk with a charcoal capsule dissolving in your mouth black smoke comes out of your ears, I mean mouth and people think you are really strange.

2.  Another idea: Open a capsule and empty its contents into a container of filled capsules, cover and shake.  You will be getting what’s in the capsules on the outside of the capsules, so when you take any of those capsules, your mouth will know what it is dealing with on a small scale.

3. I am remembering reading an herbal book over a decade ago by Juliet? (Levy?) and she used to put certain herbs in “tissue” that she would fold up and then take orally.  I have no idea what kind of “tissue” made today that would be somewhat sterile and organic at the same time.  Maybe God made a special leaf that could take the tissues place. I do not know.

Could you make herbal pills instead. Doc has a recipe in his book Homegrown Herbalist. 9 parts dry powdered herb,  1 part high mucilage herb, marshmallow, comfrey, slippery elm  . . . Mix powders and add water. just a little water as you want the batter to be pretty stiff. Then let dry at room temp or preheat oven to 250 turn off the oven an stick them in there. That will dry them in 15 minutes or so.

Yes, Rebekah.  Doc’s ways are the best!
