Adjusting Herbal Remedies to Your Needs

If you aren’t working with an herbalist, or someone educated in herbology, you will need to experiment somewhat on how much or how many herbs your body needs to get results. Larger people sometimes need larger doses, and smaller people need smaller doses. Children usually need very little amounts and respond quickly to herbal remedies.
If you are especially sensitive to medications or foods it is best to start out with smaller doses than what is recommended on a label. It’s always best to get little or no results and work your way up than to bombard yourself with too much, which can bring on an uncomfortable cleansing.
Sometimes it takes a couple days to feel the effects of an herb. This is especially true with the cleansing-type herbs, so it’s a good idea to take the recommended dosage for a few days and wait for any changes. If you are not seeing a change, in-crease what you are taking daily until you start seeing changes in your body.
