Gang Mei Gen (Ilex asprella)

[Guest guest]

I am interested what the dose is for Gang Mei Gen. I have looked in Chen and

Bensky without

success. With cold season looming, I would like to have a nice supply of Gan Mao

Ling on

hand.

 

I became interested in the herb after reading an article by Dr. Fratkin (

http://

www.drjakefratkin.com/pdf/AT_Virus.pdf#search=%22%22gang%20mei%20gen%22%22 ).

 

Many thanks

Thank your for your replies. After a little more research, I

discovered that Gan Mei Gen is listed in Chen as Wan Dian Jin under

the regulate Qi function. However, he lists a dose of 3 - 15 grams.

Looking at the percentages found in some of the Gan Mao Ling Patent

formulas the 15 - 20 or 30 seem more inline.

 

Again, many thanks
