Thank you for the good suggestions of how to get herbs down the gullet. Everyone’s tolerance and taste buds are different, there are just a very few herbs I can’t handle, shilajit being one of them. An old friend used to take herbs wrapped in a bit of rice paper, maybe that’s the method you’re referring to. Half a capsule or the holes poked sounds good too.
The important thing is to get the herbs ingested somehow or other, of course if they’re the right ones for the job/person.
With kids I tell parents to mix them in something tasty as long as the kids get them down.
3 surgeries in last nine months - that is very tough. And very nice you have an understanding doctor.
Lol, shilajit looks, smells and tastes like tar. I used it for a little while a couple years ago.
I found a trick to make it easy to take.
I had a small container of almond flour in the freezer. I warmed the jar of shilajit in warm water. I would dip my fingers in the flour, roll a pea size piece of shilajit between my fingers and drop it in the container of flour. I did that with the whole jar. I kept the container in the freezer. When I wanted a piece of it I took it out and swallowed fast. Very little taste or smell.
I have a very sensitive nose and taste buds
