Comparing 1lb of powder to 1lb of leaves/roots:
What is more cost effective in relation to efficacy? I'd assume powder would be better in that regard, but I am not entirely sure.
I am looking to buy another batch of bulk organic Ashwagandha, Astragalus, Rhodiola, and Ginger (from Organic Matters or Mountain Rose Herbs). I have always bought powder in the past, but I am curious to try the leaves/roots instead, and then subsequently chewing and sucking on them; I want to know if it would be a waste of money.
Thanks!
