To produce teapills, powdered formula is added to a concentrated liquid to form a sort of herbal dough. The dough is rolled out and machine cut into small round pieces that are then spun into teapills. Teapills should not be compared to highly-concentrated Western pharmaceutical formulas, where 1-2 pills provide the desired effects. Teapills are more similar to herbal tea broth, and are taken in food-like quantities to gradually build up in your system. While the average weights can vary depending upon the formula, a single teapill normally weighs approximately 150-250 milligrams.
