OTHER INGREDIENTS:

Certified Organic Gluten Free cane alcohol, USP pharmaceutical grade glycerin, ultrafiltered water.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Avoid during pregnancy and while nursing. Because it can diminish blood-clotting ability, feverfew should not be used in conjunction with blood-thinning medications and should be avoided for at least a week prior to surgery. In rare cases feverfew can cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, mouth, or tongue; taking it with food can minimize this possibility. In cases of severe allergy to ragweed, a close relative of feverfew, use feverfew under the guidance of a qualified health-care practitioner. In rare cases topical use of feverfew can cause contact dermatitis.

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).
