How to Use Herbal Medicine Effectively:

Herbal remedies have been used effectively and safely by apprenticed herbalists for thousands of years. Most herbal remedies are best used 3-4 times per day, but in the case of an acute condition such as the onset of a cold or flu, use a tincture every 30 minutes for 2 hours until symptoms improve and then and then every hour or two for 4 hours and so on. If possible, prepare an appropriate tea and drink at least 3 cups per day. Your dosage may vary some from this guideline since individual constitutions and body size alter the amount of herbs required.  See individual instructions on each product. 

Tinctures (liquid herbal extracts) are best taken with a small amount of water or juice. This helps the herbs cross cell membranes more effectively than if taken alone. If you have a shot glass or a sake set, use it for our organic liquid herbal extracts!

Teas are easily made in quantity and refrigerated for up to 3 days. It is critical when making tea that you use water just off the boil and cover the jar or pot to steep for at least 10 minutes for a maintenance dose or 15 minutes for a medicinal dose.  Bombilla straws and french presses are wonderful if you wish to enjoy tea without needing to strain. Organic herbal teas are tasty medicines especially with a touch of honey and organic cow or coconut milk!
