Tea, powder or extract?

The EMA describes cut root for tea, powdered root, liquid and soft extracts, and alcohol-containing tinctures. Its traditional adult tea dosage is 2–6 g root per infusion, three times daily. That is a medicinal-use monograph value, not a general supplement recommendation. 1
