Gentian Dosage

Gentiana is a very common Chinese medicinal material in our daily life. Many people often use gentian to make tea. If gentian is used as medicine and soaked in water, it not only has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, but also has sedative and blood pressure lowering effects. However, there is a certain amount of gentian when using it. Don't use it indiscriminately. If the dosage of gentian is incorrect, it will not only be of no benefit to your health, but also harmful.

How much gentian should be used?

For internal use: decoct in water, 3-6g; or make into pills or powder. For external use: take appropriate amount, decoct in water and wash; or grind into powder and apply on affected area.
