My son is having a horrible time with the artemesia drops.
Would it be possible to put the drops in a capsule??

Has anyone ever done this??

You could try contacting a compounding pharmacy near you. My kids have trouble with any liquid medicine, so if that's the only option we go to a compounding pharmacy and have it made into capsules.

I did it with another tincture. It should be fine.

Good idea and, with some capsules, it might work but the drops might MELT the capsule before you probably even get it into your mouth.

If this does work, be sure to then drink at least a cup of water right afterward.

I think you'd have to make a lot of capsules to get the right dose of any tincture when 30 drops is the typical dose.

You can find artemisia annua in capsule form, even just in powder form that you would stir into water - or the stronger extract in capsule form: artemisinin.

I'm sure it will work. I put grapefruit seed extract into gelatin capsules that I buy at the health food store and it works just fine.

They come in several sizes. Here's a link to the different sizes:
