Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

In an old booklet with magistal formulas I find a composition of a stomach powder without any quantities. Can you give me the exact quantities?

R/Rhubarb powder, Mg carbonate, after bicarbonate, Essence anise, Essence mint < br/>

Answer

I have not succeeded in finding a composition similar to the one you are presenting to me. I must admit that the presence of rhubarb powder surprises me. Without this I find after digging deep:

NaHCO3 35 and MgCO3 60g. The remaining 5g are intended for bisubcarbonate. Of the essences one will add a few drops.

But I do not think that rubarber powder in the mixture prevents but belladonna powder. However, check the maximum dose per coffee and (or) soup spoon. I suppose you guys know how to do this!
