Jihld where do you get dosage information when you get a prescription filled? Perhaps from the doctor prescribing the medication and it is also clearly written on the medications label.
Natural remedies are handled the same way. The herbalist will give you the dosage and just in case you forget it will be on the label.
For your questions regarding verification of the claims made or contra-indications for those with existing conditions. I recommend one of these. You choose English or Spanish.
