Dosage of Polygala

There are many types of Chinese medicine, and the dosage and usage of different Chinese medicines are different. Polygala is a very common Chinese medicine. Although the side effects of Chinese medicine are very small in normal times, if the dosage and method of use are not mastered when using it, it is easy to be harmed by the side effects of Chinese medicine. Although Polygala has a good therapeutic effect, improper use will cause a lot of trouble to people.

Dosage of Polygala

There are two common ways to take the Chinese medicine Polygala: decocting it in water or soaking it in wine. If it is taken as a decoction, then the recommended amount of Polygala used at one time is controlled at about one to three qian. If it is soaked in wine, it is recommended to choose the appropriate amount of Polygala based on the specific amount of alcohol.

In addition to the two common methods of taking mentioned above, when Polygala is used clinically, it is often used to make pills or powders. These two types of medicines generally need to be used in combination with other Chinese medicines. Therefore, the specific usage and dosage only need to strictly follow the relevant formula requirements.

People who should not take Polygala
