Decoction

Essential Oils

Oils are distilled from plants. Usually they are mixed with vegetable oil or water and used as an inhalant or tea. Also, they may be used as eyewash, earwash, mouthwash, or used externally for massage, and to treat cuts and abrasions.

Extracts

Place the herbs in a solvent and soak, allowing the solution to evaporate. This solution is the most effective form of using herbs. The herb extracts are very beneficial in healing. They may be added to juices.

Ointment

Syrup

A herb or herbs are added to a form of sugar and then boiled.

Tincture

Usually, most tinctures contain about 20-50% alcohol. Powdered herbs are added to a water/alcohol solution. Tinctures keep for a long period of time and should only be used if severely ill.

Tea

To prepare herb tea, use approximately one to three teaspoons of herbs per cup of boiling water. Leave herbs to steep for at least five minutes, but don't leave for longer than ten minutes. The potency of the herb is destroyed by light. Mild teas may be used daily as tonics and for general health and well-being. Herb teas, usually, may be used over long periods of time.
