Usage

A typical dosage should be about half a cup of a typical bark decoction (per day).

A decoction is typically made with 250 ml of boiling water and 1 teaspoon of dried herb powder or 2 teaspoons of chopped herb. For the mixture to maintain a decent simmer, cover the pan, lower the heat to medium, and continue to cook the mixture for 20 minutes. The decoction must then be filtered, cooled, and drunk.
