      Select either the droplet or capsule form of the herb. Both are equally effective; it depends on what you'd prefer to take. In capsule form, you generally should take 2 g to 4 g orally three times daily and in droplets you take 2 mL to 4 mL also three times a day. Compare the prices of the various online shops. Lady's slipper is a generally pricey herb and usually costs around $10 to $15 per ounce, or more as of 2010. Paying less than $10 per ounce could mean your herb is dubious or not pure.
