Product Q&A
On your Dan Shen for a fib. Your product comes in 1 lb. Daily dose is 10 grams how do I dilute this amount as a tea? For A fib; how long is it taken? Thank you., Victor Lago, CNMT
Hi, Thanks for the question. You simply weigh the desired amount for a defined period (say 3 days or a week), cook with water, divide the liquid into portions, and drink it. An easier way is to use granules (http://www.activeherb.com/extract/danshen.shtml ) so you simply dissolve them into water and drink. Response time may vary from days to weeks.
