General Guidelines for Using Plant Extracts
While each plant extract has its unique properties and recommended uses, some general guidelines apply to most:
- Consult a Healthcare Professional: Before incorporating any new plant extract into your routine, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking other medications, it’s always best to consult with a doctor or a qualified healthcare provider.
- Start with a Low Dose: Begin with the lowest recommended dose and gradually increase it if needed, while monitoring your body’s response. This helps to assess your tolerance and minimize potential side effects.
- Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions: Always adhere to the dosage and usage instructions provided on the product label. Kangyuan Herb ensures clear and accurate labeling for all our products.
- Consistency is Key: For many plant extracts, consistent use over a period is necessary to observe their full benefits.
- Storage: Store plant extracts in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain their potency and shelf life.
