Most herbal formulas have dosage instructions on the label. This should be your guideline for the maximum dosage you should take of an herb or formula. Keep in mind that the maximum dosage is usually based on an adult male of 150-200 lbs. Individuals with lighter weights and those sensitive to herbs would typically take less than the maximum dosage.If you're taking an herbal formula for the first time, you may want to start out at a reduced dosage to make sure your body and digestive system tolerate the herb satisfactorily, then increase the dosage to reach the desired effects. Many herbalists also recommend "breaks" for continuously used herbs to help rest your body (i.e. not taking an herb every 4th day and every 4th week).Raw herbs and extracts do not contain detailed dosage instructions, as these herbal products are intended for those individuals who have the proper experience and knowledge to prepare the herb.Please Note: we are unable to provide specific dosage instructions beyond the manufacturer product labels. Please consult a trained herbalist for individualized dosage instructions.
