The average dose is 1-2 cc of solution, or approximately 20-30 drops, 2-3 times per day. Due to the efficiency of the double water-alcohol extraction process, 60-90 drops (2-3 cc) taken daily is equivalent to 1-2 cups (250-500 cc) of water decoction, the generally recommended daily dose.

For babies or young children, add the entire daily dose to 1 oz of boiling water to evaporate the alcohol, then add 3 oz of fruit juice or cereal with honey, maple syrup, or raw sugar to mask the taste. Total daily amount may be divided into 4-6 individual doses.
