for what disease or purpose? Different dosage for many illneses. For good health 2.5 teaspoons daily. The sunnah was to take the crushed seeds and mix with honey. More than 2.5 teaspoons would not be favorable to take more honey. We recommend 1 teaspoon of oil daily but you need 2.5 teaspoons to equal one teaspoon. The sunnah was was to put the honey and the seeds in the right palm and lick up. I hope this helps.
