Dosages (Salad Burnet) — 2–6 g dry tops as tea, 3 ×/day (CAN); 2–6 ml liquid top extract (1:1
in 25% ethanol) 3 ×/day (CAN); 2–8 ml top tincture (1:5 in 45% ethanol) 3 ×/day (CAN); 2–3 tsp
(2.8–4.2 g) herb in cold tea (MAD); 30–50 drops tincture (MAD).
Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Salad Burnet) — Not covered (AHP). “Haz-
ards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages” (PH2). Here’s the broken record
(template) played by CAN: In view of the lack of phytochemical, pharmacological, and toxicity
data, use during pregnancy and lactation should be avoided. Excessive use should be avoided
(CAN). We could say that about any herb that has not been studied extensively. Few pharmaceuticals
have been proven for pregnant and lactating women, and for pediatric dosages. Should we ask
more of the long-used herbs?
