HOW TO MEASURE OUR TINCTURES: 

Suggested doses are given in drops. However, for easy dosing, you may want to use the guidelines below:

Droppers: If a dropper were immersed in a tincture bottle and the bulb squeezed twice, the number of drops in the pipette for most given tinctures will be approximately 30 drops.

Note: These are only averages. More viscous (thicker) tinctures will produce fewer, and bigger, drops.

Teaspoons: There are approximately 120 drops in 1 teaspoon (approximately 4 droppersful).

Etymology

The genus name Euphrasia derives from the name of Euphrosyne, one of the Three Graces or Charites; she was the goddess of joy.           

Range of Appearance

Native to Europe, eyebright is a small annual herb, reaching a height of only 2 to 8 inches. The leaves are deeply toothed, oval, and pubescent and the stems are square. The small hermaphroditic plants are white with yellow and purple spots. Eyebright is semiparasitic, in that its roots attach to those of grasses. It does best in open areas, such as pastures.
