I agree with Dr. Bhoj R. Singh and Hero M. Ismael.
I would like to add an additional dimension to the ongoing discussion, i.e., Concentration dependent synergy.
We all know that herbal extracts are composed of multiple phyto-constituents which might act synergistically or antagonistically at different concentrations. So, such concentration dependent synergism or antagonism might be one of the probable reasons for such observations.
yea its true for some essential oils. Actually i am using Tween 20 for dissolving oil in water. I was thinking - is that due to precipitate that i am getting my results in such manner.?
