Very often the powdered herb is used as an adjunct to nursing masks because of its medicinal properties for skin problems such as acne or rash. Other functions include serum absorption, cervical closure and injury acceleration.3. How do you dosage stevia?
The dosage of stevia is primarily dependent on subjective demand the indicator here is the level of sweetness.
