Correct way to administer drops?!?

[swella73]

Hi there!
I recieved my drops yesterday and like some of the others here, I plan to alternate between the pellets and the drops. My question is how do you take the drops?? Hope I am not sounding too naive here but, do I place all 10 drops under my tongue simultaneously or do I need to wait until each drop dissolves? Also, should the dropper be completely full??

I am confused...in case that wasn't obvious!!

THANKS!!

You should lightly tap the bottle about ten times to activate your drops and then how you take them is up to you. When I first started I just looked in the mirror and dropped ten drops under my tongue and then eventually I started putting the drops in a 1/4 tsp measuring spoon and then putting it all under my tongue at once because I got nervous about contaminating the dropper (that was just my personal OCD though), either way works fine though.

You do not have to wait for each drop to dissolve whatever way you choose though.

I just counted out 10 drops by looking in the mirror held them under my tongue for 2 mins then swallowed whatever was left.

I haven't seen them written on any brand of drops but it's pretty common practice with homeopathic remedies to "activate" them before use, just tap the bottom of your bottle lightly against the palm of your hand before you dose.
