Preparation

When preparing, follow the general instructions on how to prepare the herbal decoction at the bottom of the mixture page. When preparing a six gentlemen decoction, it is highly desirable to add 7-10 grams of adult panax ginseng (we recommend Panax ginseng TaiwanTCM Liang ). Ginseng is a part of the so-called royal herb of the original recipe of the six gentlemen decoction.
