  • How to Prepare Herbs


    • * Infusion: Boil one pint of water, take off the boil and add one ounce herb. Use a glass or stainless steel pot. Herbs that are prepared this way include flowers and delicate parts and strong smelling herbs where the essential oils need to be retained.

    *Decoction: Use one ounce of herb boiled for 20 minutes. Roots, stems barks and berries are prepared this way because they are tougher and need more time to extract their biochemical constituents. Infusion and decoction "serving size" varies - usally is one-half cup every three to four hours. Do your own research.

    *Tincture: Add two ounces herb to one pint of vodka, run or gin. Shake twice daily for two weeks, strain and bottle. "Serving size" varies - usually is 10 to 30 drops 2 to 3 times a day. (As with all herbs, start at the low dosage end of the spectrum.)

    *Capsules: Grind dried herb and scoop into 00 capsules. (Pretty easy and portable) "Serving size" varies. Do your own research.

    The herbs are listed alphabetically, under their most common name, with their Latin name to follow. The first descriptions are the folk medicinal uses, and the second are for magickal. Some herbs may not be used for both.
