Additional Thoughts
Effective bitter herb, very inexpensive. Educating yourself on the proper use of basic herbs is simple and can keep you away from costly prescription drugs which tend to do more harm in the long run. In my case it would be the PPI's (Proton Pump Inhibitors) like Prilosec, Nexium, Protonix, etc.
As far as the length of time that I take the above listed mixtue. Generally, I use it almost every day and it has been working great for over 3 years now! I brew it by decoction, about 2 days worth at a time, and cool it well. Then I keep it in a dark glass bottle with a screw cap. My dose is 1/4 cup (60ml) three times a day. If the meal is on the small side, I will reduce my dose accordingly. I usually re-warm the decoction and add just a touch of honey, but never sugar. Sugar is terrible if you have digestive issues. Or so I am told. My grandmother was a European trained pharmacist. This is from back in the day when they actually had to compound the medicine they dispensed.
