6 Herbal Preparations Liquid Extract or Tincture Liquid extract, or tincture, is a method of preserving herbs in a base of water and alcohol, making it convenient to dispense and consume. Capsules An herbal capsule is convenient but not as easy to absorb as a liquid extract. The powders in the capsule should be freshly powdered prior to placing in the capsule. Damage from exposure to oxygen and light can be reduced by encapsulating the powders quickly and placing in an opaque container. 6
7 Infusion Infusions are a type of tea made by pouring hot water over dried or fresh plant material, usually leaves and flowers, in order to extract volatile oils, vitamins and enzymes. Decoction Another type of tea usually used for barks, roots and seeds which require more time and heat for extraction of constituents. Herbal oil Made by soaking a fresh or dried herb in oil (most commonly olive oil) for a period of time and then pressed and filtered. 7
8 Salve A salve is made with herbal oils and typically beeswax to give it solidity. Elixir An elixir contains the herb, water, a sweetener such as honey or glycerin and a small amount of alcohol. It is generally better tasting than a tincture or liquid extract and often helpful when treating children. Dosage 8
9 Things to consider -strength of the herbal product -quality of the herbal product -age of the individual -weight of the individual -sensitivity of the individual -acute or chronic condition Strength of the herbal product The form of the herb can alter its strength. standardized cap tincture elixir tea Strongest > > weakest Quality of the herbal product -Less herb is needed if it is made with high quality raw ingredients. -Herbal products that have been carefully grown and processed retain the vital force of the plants. 9
10 Age of the individual using the product -The very young and the very old usually need to take less of an herbal product. Weight of the individual using the product -Doses should always be calculated on the weight of the individual. Sensitivity of the individual -Everyone has different levels of sensitivity and individuals with the same body weight may need different doses. 10
11 Acute or chronic conditions -A person presenting with an acute condition often needs higher physiologic doses of herb than a person presenting with a chronic condition. General Guidelines for Dosing Dosages are usually based upon a 150 pound person. Tinctures drops 1-4 times per day Teas-1tsp-1T herb per cup water. Capsule-generally, the label will have a dosage on the lower side. Most capsules are standardized to a specific constituent. Dosages for seniors Over 63 yrs 5/6ths of full dose Over 77yrs 2/3rds of full dose Kings American Dispensatory 11

22 Herb-Drug Interactions Reviews From a 2013 systematic review of four databases, only 46 articles (out of over 4000) were deemed qualified drug-herb interactions. Of those, two herbs were found to have serious drug interactions and five herbs were found to have moderately severe drug interactions. Br J Clin Pharmacol March; 75(3): More Reviews Another review, done in 2011, discussed the mechanisms and clinical implications of herb-drug interactions by reviewing published human studies. Drugs that have a high potential to interact with herbal medicines usually have a narrow therapeutic index. This review reported on five herbs that might likely interact with drugs. Curr Med Chem. 2011;18(31):
23 And one more review A third review, done in 2009, reviewed the literature to determine the possible interactions between seven popular herbal medicines and conventional drugs. They found one herb, of the seven, had no drug interactions, and the rest had varying interaction. Drugs. 2009;69(13): Ways herbs interact with drugs The most common herb-drug interaction is pharmacokinetic. The herb interferes with the elimination/absorption of the drug. Cytochrome p450 CYP3A4 is a member of the cytochrome p450 super family of enzymes that catalyze many reactions in the liver and in the gut involved in drug metabolism. Herbs and drugs can induce or inhibit these enzymes affecting down-regulation or up-regulation of another drug or herb. It is estimated that CYP3A4 is responsible for oxidizing 50% of conventional drugs. Any herb that induces or inhibits this enzyme s activity affects these drugs. 23
24 Hypericum perforatum Hypericum (St. John s Wort) ranks #1 in herb-drug interactions. There are many compounds present in Hypericum; one of those compounds, hyperforin, increases the activity of CYP3A4, thereby decreasing the level of many drugs that are substrates for this enzyme. Examples: alprazolam, amitriptyline, atorvastatin, chlorzoxazone, cyclosporin, debrisoquine, digoxin, erythromycin, fexofenadine, gliclazide, imatinib, indinavir, irinotecan, ivabradine, mephenytoin, methadone, midazolam, nifedipine, omeprazole, oral contraceptives, quazepam, simvastatin, tacrolimus, talinolol, verapamil, voriconazole and warfarin Pol Merkur Lekarski Nov;35(209): Drugs. 2009;69(13): Ginkgo biloba At a dose of above 240mg standardized Ginkgo appears to also interfere with cytochrome p450 system, specifically inducing CYP2C19 and inhibiting CYP3A4 resulting in down-regulating omeprazole and up-regulating midazolam. Drug Metab Rev Aug;45(3): More on Ginkgo biloba From a review done in 2008: There is scant information from case reports or controlled trials to support the suggestion that Ginkgo potentiates the effects of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. More study is necessary. Mol Nutr Food Res Jul;52(7):
25 Bottom Line -We know herbs interact with drugs. -We know little of the significance of the interactions. -More study is needed. Be a responsible practitioner -educate yourself; patients will use herbs -know your patient s sensitivity, vitality -be honest w/your patient -err on the conservative side Recommended Resources 1) Tilgner, Sharol, ND.
