Vervain: Dosage

Vervain is contained, for example, in some tea mixtures for lactation. In addition, the herb is also available as a herbal medicine, for example, in the form of drops or dragées.

Average daily dose

The average daily dose is four to five grams of the drug, unless otherwise prescribed.

Vervain: preparation as a tea or poultices.

To prepare a tea from vervain, 1.5 grams of the finely chopped herb (one teaspoon is about 1.4 grams) can be poured over boiling water and after five to ten minutes passed through a tea strainer. The tea should be drunk three times a day.

For external use, five to ten grams of the herb can be added to one liter of water and then used to make poultices or similar.

This is what you should pay attention to!

The above-mentioned areas of application have not yet been scientifically substantiated, which is why therapeutic use is not to be advocated at present. However, since a secretolytic effect is likely, the combination with other herbal remedies may have a positive effect in the treatment of mucosal inflammation of the upper respiratory tract.

Verbena should be stored in a dry place and protected from light.
