GINSENG/GINGER TONIC
Although various formulations of
a ginseng/ginger tonic were recommended by Edgar Cayce for bowel disease
and digestive problems, the most common formula recommended these
essential active ingredients:
- wild ginseng
- wild ginger
- elixir of lactated pepsin
In some readings, tincture of stillingia was also included
in the formula.
Daily use of the tonic is recommended. Typical
dosage is 1/2 teaspoonful in water on arising and before retiring each
day. Usually, Edgar Cayce suggested that many treatments (and especially
medicines) be taken in cycles to allow the body to adjust to the changes
in the system. A typical cycle for the ginseng tonic might be daily
use for 30 days. Take a week off. Then resume daily usage
for 30 days, followed by a rest period, repeating the cycle through the
6 month period of the protocol.
If you should wish to make this tonic, here is a
simple formula based on reading 2085-1:
To two ounces of distilled water add a tablespoonful
of pure honey (not synthetic, but pure honey). Let this come to
a boil, skimming off the dross or sediment as it rises to the top.
Then add to this 1/4 ounce of grain alcohol. Then add, in the order
named:
Elixir (or fusion) of wild ginseng, 1/4 ounce
Wild ginger (essence or fusion), 1/4 ounce
Tincture of stillingia, 1/4 ounce
Elixir of lactated pepsin, 1/4 ounce
