Dissolving one pill

I have a basic question: what if I have only one single pill left of a remedy I need to take 3 times.

What is the optional amount of water if I want to dissolve it? Can I add too much water?
Do I have to shake it? Or defenately not to shake it?
How much do I have to drink in a time?

Try this. Dissolve the pill in 4 to 6 ounces of spring or distilled water. (Use a bottle that is not quite full so you can shake it and create a head.)

Agitate it by an up-down-up-down motion holding the bottle in one hand and tapping it gently against your other hand 10 times. Do that before each dose. A dose is about a teaspoon's worth. Keep the bottle out of direct sunlight and away from heat.

Hi Daisy,

I have read a similar instruction several times. But WHY do you have to tap it? Doesn't tapping increase the potency? How long can you store it?

By the way - how much is 4 to 6 ounces in millimeters?

Tapping it slightly increases the potency between doses. That avoids the possibility that you may antidote the remedy by taking it too soon at the same potency. In other words, 'wet' dosing and tapping in between doses is a more forgiving way of taking a remedy if you need to repeat it.

If you want to store it long term, try adding a teaspoon or two of alcohol. Otherwise, keeping it in a dark corner (some say not in the refrigerator) it may be fine for a few weeks, or however long the water stays pure.

1 liter is roughly 1 quart, or 32 ounces. Getting the exact amount isn't critical at all.
