Tea dose







Pharmacological

Dr. Suresh Kumar:Standard daily dose of typical Ayurvedicdecoction is 60 g crude herb, decocted,

administered twice or thrice per day

Pharmacological

However, experience shows Indian dose istoo high for good compliance byWesterners, so amount can be reduced to

15 or 30 g
