Understanding How to Properly Dose Herbs
When using herbs to manage chronic illnesses, it is crucial to
understand that herbal remedies often require more dosages than what you might
typically use for general wellness and conditions. Unlike synthetic medicines,
herbs need to be consumed in larger quantities to achieve therapeutic effects.
For example, Ginger might
be taken in higher doses to combat severe nausea or inflammation, with
recommended amounts ranging from a few slices of fresh ginger several times a
day to more concentrated forms like ginger capsules.
