suan zao ren volume measurement for draft?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

I'd like to give a patient 2-3 g (raw, ground up) suan zao ren to take

as a draft for sleep. Does anyone know how much this is in volume?

Teaspoon? Half teaspoon? And/or how do you have your patients parcel

it out if the pharmacy gives them a bag of ground herbs? In school we

used to separate it out into 2-3 g doses, but this seems laborious and

unnecessary.

 

Thanks,

generally, a rounded tsp is 3 grams.
