Sophora |
 | | Sophora flavescens roots are by far the most frequently used, which is why the common name “sophora” is appropriately selected to represent it. |
| | Typical dosing of the extracted sophora alkaloids for humans is 300–600 mg per day (at 2% alkaloids, this corresponds to 15–30 grams/day of the root), though higher doses are sometimes used (in one study of arrhythmia treatments (2), the dose was gradually raised to 1,000–1,500 mg each time, three times daily). |
| | Sophora is frequently applied topically in herbal formulations as a wash and, less frequently, in a cream. |
