Dosage and usage of deer antler velvet on March 17, 1980

This medicine is a sacred tonic for strengthening yang, drawing on the yang energy of heaven and earth, and is a living, flesh-and-blood product that delivers remarkable benefits. Deer antler velvet is generally not added to soups; it’s best taken as a powdered preparation mixed with water, with a dosage not exceeding 10g. This product is usually divided into two types: blood slices and powder slices. Blood slices come from the tip end, with a rich flavor and strong yang energy, delivering powerful tonifying effects; powder slices come from near the root end, with a milder flavor and lighter yang energy, offering slightly weaker tonifying effects. When used in combination with Curculigo orchioides and Epimedium, the tonifying effects are significantly enhanced.
