A mother tincture as it comes in liquid form, it is best to dilute the recommended number of drops in a glass of water, to drink before the meal. This advice is obviously only valid for mother tinctures which are taken in internal use. If the taste is too strong, you can dilute the mother tincture in orange juice for example. Some hydroalcoholic extracts can also be used as gargles, i.e. as mouthwashes.

However, be careful to do not apply the Arnica mother tincture to a wound.
