Herbalism Uncensored: Therapeutic Dosing, Loading Doses, and Why Books Disagree. We tackle the messy, often controversial reality of herbal dosing and why it’s one of the hardest and most overlooked skills in modern herbalism.
We break down what we mean by “therapeutic dosing” (dosing to elicit a real, measurable response) and why we often use bigger, more results-driven doses than the typical maintenance approach.
We talk through dosing to effectiveness vs dosing to tolerance, loading doses vs maintenance doses, and how factors like tradition (TCM, Ayurveda, Western), preparation (whole herb, capsules, tea, tinctures), plant potency, digestion/assimilation, constitution, and body weight change the “right” dose. We share a striking case using 30g/day whole ashwagandha for severe anxiety/agoraphobia, discuss why herb books publish wildly different (often lawyer-edited) doses, and dig into tincture math and the problem of missing ratios.
