Determining Herbal Dosages

Many times, when you come across an herbal remedy, dosage information will be included. Keep in mind that this is just a suggestion and that the factors discussed above will cause changes to be made to the dosage.

MINIMALIST APPROACH (TITRATE DOSING)

In my opinion, the best approach to herbal dosing is following a minimalist’s approach… also known as titrating the dose. This is where you start dosing with the smallest amount recommended, and if you don’t get the results you are expecting, slowly titrate the dose up over a period of time until you achieve those results. This method works best for homemade herbal preparations where the final products strength may vary.
