Study Finds Shu Gan Liang Xue Herbal Formula Has Breast Cancer Anti Tumor Effect - discussion (2020-07-24 06:02:21am)- where can I find decoction/granule dosages?

So, first, you should -never- attempt herbal treatment yourself even with pre-made herbal formulas (capsules, pills, etc.) and certainly not with raw herbal decoctions. In general this is just a bad idea, but even more so if you are doing it only for a symptomatic reason - whether or not a formula will be helpful for you is something that is carefully thought through by a practitioner who is well versed with your overall health and issues, not just the issue that a particular formula may have shown promise with. Your practitioner will be the only person who can tell you what dosage to take if the formula is even appropriate for you, and they would likely be changed over time both formulas and dosages in many cases.

But, for completeness sake, Shu Gan Liang Xue is comprised of:

• Zi Cao 20g
• Mu Dan Pi 15g
• Wu Wei Zi 15g
• Bai Shao 15g
• Chai Hu 10g
• Yu Jin 10g

Although, again, in many cases this would be tailored to you as an individual both in ingredients and in amounts potentially.

Not entirely sure where I got that information from, I had it written down from when I researched and wrote the article. Usually if I’m stuck or just need to “fact check” something herbally I contact one of my colleagues, a very gifted herbal master, Dr. Ming Wu - https://wuhealing.com/ or one of his close students who is a friend of mine. Ming can generally answer any herbal questions I have and then some…

I have not. Generally speaking, and not for any reasons where I don’t think it is valuable, we rarely if ever use herbal medicine with cancer cases (of which for many years we treated almost exclusively, and my primary teacher still does around 70%? cancer). Without turning my response into a textbook, we have approaches primarily utilizing acupuncture, tuina and energy healing, specifically tailored for cancer patients and these protocols do not utilize herbal medicine.
