I generally find that I can only make 3-5 boluses before I have to put the finished ones into the refrigerator. This is good. It they are too stiff, something went wrong and they aren't going to melt in your body. In the eleven years I have worked with these, only two people told me the boluses wouldn't dissolve. There is enough in herbal powder in the package we supply to make about 60 boluses, a two-month supply.
Most women continue the use for two months.
A few, often those with a long history of candida albicans or other infections of the reproductive system, continue for six months. Two or three women told me that itchiness due to candida increased a bit during the first days of use. Most women said that the boluses are extremely comfortable and are actually relaxing and soothing to the body. It is a lot of fun to make the boluses if you have some friends over to help. It can be a substitute for an old-fashioned quilting or canning party.
