Dosage and Repetition of dose

Dose and its frequency should always be based on factors like state of health, diabetic status, diabetic complications etc. hence every case is to be individualized and thus no fixed dose can be recommended or/and advised. The aforesaid quantities of dosage are merely indications and, as such, should never be taken as fixed parameters. Even persons having their symptoms identical cannot be given the same dose, for reasons mentioned above.
An expert ayurvedic physician can easily prescribe the requisite dose and its frequency for each individual patient separately, taking into account all the basic requirements. The diabetics are advised, in their own interest, that it is always prudent and advisable to remain under guidance and supervision of a qualified ayurvedic physician who will not only guide you, but will also take into account other factors and complications, if any. This advice applies equally in case of other systems of medicine also.
