How do I take Boswellia tincture?
Most people start with a low dose — typically 5–15 drops, 1–2 times per day — held under the tongue or added to a small amount of water. Adjust based on personal response and any guidance from a qualified practitioner.
Can I combine Boswellia with MMN signature formulas?
In most cases yes — single-herb tinctures are often used to layer one specific plant onto an existing formula or routine. If a formula already contains the same herb, reduce the single-herb dose to avoid stacking too much of one ingredient.
Is Boswellia tincture safe for everyone?
Most adults tolerate it well. The interactions worth taking seriously are specific drug pairings (anticoagulants, MAOIs, lithium, immunosuppressants, certain narrow-window cardiac drugs). Pregnancy and breastfeeding deserve plant-by-plant judgment. If any of those apply to you, work through it with a clinician who understands botanical medicine.
