When starting out, drink the tea three times per day, spaced throughout the day.
After a week, taper off to twice per day
After a month, taper off to once per day
Continue until symptom free, which may take 6 to 12 months and will require additional dietary and activity adjustments.

If following these directions, you should be aware of your symptoms subsiding after the first week, and continuing to subside until you have recovered completely.
Buying Herbs Notes
Nope, I have no financial stake in this. I don't sell the tea, (maybe I should). I'm just providing information about what worked for me. It took a year of tea plus treatment as outlined above.
I recommend buying the herbs wherever you can get them inexpensively and can trust that they are reasonably fresh and clean. Some of these herbs you can grow yourself. One place that I know is a good source for purchasing herbs in bulk is Penn Herbs.
