Suggested Use & Dosage

The recommended dosage depends on the age, weight, and sensitivity of each individual. Some individuals may find they need less than the suggested use on the label. Each product's label carries a "Suggested Use" statement. Always check the label for specifics.

Adult: 10-20 drops mixed in 1-2 ounces of water, 1-3 times daily. For short-term use, extracts can be taken every 1-3 hours.

Child: 1 drop per 5 lbs of body weight mixed in 1-2 ounces of water or sugar-free juice. Use Clark's Rule as a general guideline: divide the child's weight (in pounds) by 150 to get the fraction of the adult dose appropriate for the child. Consult an herbalist or holistic practitioner before giving extracts to a child, as some are too strong for children.

Pets: Consult your veterinarian first. Usually 1 drop per 5 lbs of body weight.

For long-term use: take a one-week break every six months. Consult your herbalist or holistic practitioner about long-term use.

One full dropper squeeze ≈ 15 drops ≈ 0.75 mL. A 1/4 tsp dose ≈ 1-1.25 mL. A 1 oz bottle ≈ 30 mL.
