What is the Typical Dosage of Chinese Herbs?
Since some products from China are made from extracts and others from raw herbs, the dosage varies from as few as 2-5 pills for extracts to 8-20 pills at a time for formulas using raw materials, generally 1-3 times per day. Dosages for fluid extracts are about 1-4 milliliters (1/4-1 teaspoon), depending on the concentration, 2-3 times per day. Dosages for children are proportionately less than for adults.
