So lately I have been able to get my kids to take tinctures by putting them in capsules. If they don't chug a ton of water after it burns their throat. It was doing the same thing to me too. Is this dangerous? The gelatin must be melting in the esophagus so the full strength herbs burn. I stopped giving it to them and they are using the Green Dragon Core Capsules (powdered herb). If the burn is not dangerous, then I would like to give it to them because it's a liquid mix that my doctor sells from Woodland Essence that has a mix of Buhner's new recommended herbs.

Its probably the alcohol causing the burning feeling. Add it to some juice, let it sit for ~30 minutes to an hour and then drink. The alcohol should all evaporate. Pomegranite juice is a good one, so is Power of 7 juice (from Trader Joe's). Trader Joe's seems to have the best tasting and cheapest organic juices.

I had to take a lot of herbs when I was a kid (for regular stuff like colds) since I saw a ND. Mixing the tinctures with juice seems to be the best way to do it.
