Does anyone here know how to interpret the ingredients of medications? I have a mix of essential oils with ingredients like347mg of ethanol, 136mg of Eucalyptus oil and so on, all adding up to a total of 870 mg. But what os the rest of the mixture? Water? And how much of it? If I fill up to 100 g of completed mixture, the concentration of the ingredients is homeopathic at best...
@Elmy do you have the complete list? If it’s something that’s made by a pharmacy, there’s sometimes a description with what the active ingredients get topped up. Usually in Latin.
The complete list is only available in German and contains nothing more than X mg of anything. The problem is that it contains several essential oils that are toxic to dogs and I was trying to find substitutes.
@Stephie According to chem.libretexts.org/Courses/Windward_Community_College/… for a 30 kg dog one dose would contain 10g ethanol, which sounds more realistic. But all of the other oils must be replaced with something not toxic to dogs
Just checked: The (at least here) common product „Gelomyrtol forte“ to treat sinusitis contains 300mg of essential oils per capsule. And it makes you smell like Eukalyptus. Considering that, the amount on the website you linked to seems about correct for a single dose for an adult human.
@Stephie 374 milligrams of ethanol per kg body weight makes 10.410 mg ethanol, which should be 10 grams, right? In the end It's more about ratios than grams because you wipe the mixture over the skin not ingest it.
@Stephie True... that made me realize that I shouldn't suggest experimenting with unproven recipes and get some approved antibacterial solutions from a vet instead.
I wanna ask a question, but I'm not sure, if I should. I don't wanna have it downvoted to oblivion or even deleted. So I figured I'd ask here first. This is what I'd like to ask:
