Traditionally prepared as

Traditional use is a powder as decoction or an extract. Strengths and directions vary by product. Follow the label, and check with a pharmacist before combining with prescription medicine.

This describes how the plant has traditionally been prepared. It is not a dose, and not a recommendation for you. Amounts that suit one person can be wrong for another, and wrong alongside a medicine. Ask a pharmacist or your doctor before taking it.
