Its properties and taste are sweet and neutral. Its functions are quite similar to those of bitter apricot seed, but it is more effective for moistening.

The recommended dosage is 3-10 g.

Traditional use is not proof of safety or effect. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using any herb if you are pregnant, nursing, or take medicine.
