What is a Herb?

Herb stores often carry simple machines for putting herbal powders into capsules efficiently.

They also usually offer Herbs in ready-made capsules, pills, and fluid extracts.

Dosage: If capsules, pills, or tablets are used, take approximately 3,000 milligrams (3 grams) of Herbs three times daily between meals, followed with water. Note: a size #0 capsule holds approximately 400-450 milligrams of herbs; a #00, 500-600 milligrams; and a #000,650-850 milligrams. The higher milligram weights are for denser Herbs, primarily barks, seeds, and roots. Tinctures are extracts of Herbs in alcohol or another medium."
