Warnings
The bark is highly toxic in excessive doses as it can cause difficulty in breathing, spasms, and twitching since it contains a cyanidelike chemical called hydrocyanic acid.

 

There is no one size fits all dose. Dosage varies from individual to individual. The suggested use is just a jumping off point. Each person may need more or less depending on age, weight, sensitivity, etc. In general, for acute conditions you will dose more frequently in larger doses for a short period of time and for chronic conditions you will dose less frequently in smaller doses for an extended period of time. This is something each person has to figure out for themselves but I am happy to answer any questions you may have too!
