The biggest difference between dried plantain and fresh plantain is the amount of water. Fresh plantain contains more water, so the dosage will be relatively more, while dry plantain contains less water and the effective components are concentrated to a certain extent, so the dosage will be less when soaking in water. When boiling water, it can be used dry or fresh. It is recommended to use dried plantain because it is easier to store and more convenient than fresh plantain.

How many grams of plantain is boiled at a time? 9-30 grams of dried products and 30-60 grams of fresh products are appropriate.

If it is dried and dehydrated plantain, the dosage of decoction is generally 9-30g; If it is fresh plantain, it is generally 30-60g. If ordinary people only use plantain for health care, it is recommended to use the minimum dose, because plantain is a cold medicinal material after all. If you eat too much, chill will accumulate in the spleen and stomach, which will easily have a certain impact on your body. In addition, it is best not to add plantain casually.
