So, during my 'crazy time' leading up to hubby's surgery, I ran out of Sida acuta and most of the places that I bought it from didn't have it in stock in time for me to get some. I decided to try something different, since I wasn't up on all of the Buhner herbs anyway. I realized that cistus incanus has many of the same properties, even though it rocked my world the first time I tried to use it, I decided I would try again, only this time I was going to not follow the instructions! LOL!
I've been using only 1/2 tsp in 1/2 cup of water, and only allowing it to steep for 10 minutes. While I do re-use the cistus twice (each time it's brewed it has different qualities to it), the norm is to re-use it three times. But, it's that third time that really messes with my innerds and leads to my crashing, so I figured they just weren't ready for that level yet. So I now only use re-use it twice. I skip one day, any time I seem to need it, but only one day, as that first brew of the cistus really settles things down.
I'm on a mission to now find out just what components are release during each brewing of the cistus!!! I'm sure it would lead to my understanding of what's stopping me from being able to use it full strength as well as not tolerating the third brewing.

Hi Traveler!-
Thank you for the update on how you are doing!
As you probably know , my knowledge on herbs isn't great. LOL!
Very interesting that each time the cistus is brewed that it has different qualities to it.
Sorry to hear that you are unable to get to the maximum dosage of 3 times.
I know that I am not much help, but I do hope that you are able to figure this out.
Are you still in classes for being a Herbalist? Would other students or the instructor be of any help to finding out what components are released during each brewing?
Best Wishes!

Oh yes, I'm still in classes!! I've already paid for all of it! I will finish it!LOL! But, I'm not sure if the other students or the instructors would know enough about cistus incanus to know that much. But, I can do some research to find out, I just need to actually stop to do it. LOL. Thank you for your kind words!!!!
