Okay, 1 gram of herbs weighs 1 gram. There are 28.4 grams per ounce. There are also 3 teaspoons per tablespoon and 2 tablespoons per ounce. Now if you are planning on whipping up some kind of brew using teaspoons and tablespoons that is okay but if you have a small kitchen scale then you can weigh your herbs out for a more precise way of making it per your Rx. (recipe). Using teaspoons and tablespoons is not the best bet though, cause some herbs per teaspoon will weigh more than others. This is why you should invest in a small scale or even a good one if you can afford it.

Thanks. But in the first chart it shows that 1/5 of a tsp= 28g, and

in the second one it shows that 1/5 tsp = 1g ... that doesn't make

sence. Which is it? Am I missing something here?

I took this from a a site that goes US to metric and metric to US//

I believe that is a different measurement - grams to oz in the second column

however here is another site for you to make it easier.
