It seems that many health conscious
people these days are turning away from prescription drugs and
turning to making their own medicines. Healing with herbs and
other natural remedies is becoming popular and making your own
medicines is quite an art.
Some popular methods of natural
healing involve the use of making infusions, steeping to extract
various properties, decoctions, the extraction of an essence
by boiling and ointments. Always remember when you are creating
your own herbal remedies to use an enamel or nonmetal pot.
HERBAL TEAS
To make a cup of herbal tea, for drinking or as a face wash,
boil 10 ounces of water. Prewarm your teapot, put in 1 tbsp.
or less of dried herbs or a large pinch of fresh herbs and pour
the boiling water over them. Add honey, if you like. Cover and
steep to taste, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain and drink. |
