We recommend taking tonic herbs daily in small doses. This allows you to develop an understanding of how these beautiful healing allies are working their medicinal magic for you. Start with 1/4 teaspoon per herb/blend per day, building up to a good heaped teaspoon once you feel it necessary within your unique body system.
Doses can be taken as high as up to two teaspoons per day, however most people find their sweet spot with one heaped teaspoon per herb/blend, per day. We call this sweet spot your "lifestyle dose".
Dosage is very personal, some require larger doses - larger bodies, stronger constitutions, while others need smaller doses - smaller bodies, more sensitive constitutions. Your body will let you know if you need more or less as you experiment, and we encourage you to trust your intuition and your body’s innate wisdom.
The flavour profile of the herb/blend will also influence your dosage range and often dictate how high you can take your dose. Listen to this guide as it is very useful in finding what is appropriate for you.
A dose taken in the morning is usually well received, however you can take the herbs at any time that suits your daily flow and lifestyle. A warm JING is a wonderful way to welcome in your day, while Reishi is a beautiful evening tonic, assisting a restful nights sleep.
Building your dose up over a couple of weeks is a really lovely practice that allows the space for your awareness and understanding to develop around how your body, mind and Spirit are receiving the herbs.
We'd love to know... What's your herbal sweet spot?
