Lynn,

 

They are measured several different ways to my knowledge and I would use a crock

pot in the garage because many of them stink.

You may want to do an Internet search for companies that sell herbs. Often

they also sell tools. I believe Frontier Herbs has scales, but I don't know

if this is the best price.

 

I've been getting by with a kitchen scale since I don't have to be close to

exact given the herbs I'm working with. You would need to be more careful

with herbs like aconite (monkshood) because of the toxicity and ginseng

because of the cost of the herb.

 

You usually will see herb dosages given in grams or qian for small batches.

A qian is approximately equal to 3 grams. You may see the fen measure for

very potent herbs. A fen is .1 qian or .3 grams.

Does anyone have information on where to buy a scale to measure herbs and a

cooker to cook them? Is there anything special about these items or would

any cook's shop do? Are herbs measured in grams?
