Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Normal dosages usually 10-30 drops three times per day. Sometimes ten to thirty drops of tincture is sufficient for a therapeutic dose, other times you may need a teaspoon every hour. Equivalents 60 drops = 1 teaspoon 4 ml. = 1 teaspoon 1 ounce = 28.4 grams (solid) 1 fluid ounce = 29.57 ml. 1 teaspoon tincture = 2 "OO" capsules Dosages for children are not provided in most herbals. To determine the correct dose you need to consider the size of the child, the ailment, the power of the herb you intend to use, and the adult dosage. Young's Rule for determining dosage uses the child's age divided by twelve plus the age. The dosage for a 4 year old: 4/12+4 = 4/16 = 1/4 of the adult dose. 's Rule for determining dosages divides the weight of the child by 150 to give the approximate fraction of the adult dose. Dosage for a 40 lb. child: . 40 /150 = .26 or approx. 1/4 the adult dose.
