Herbal
Preparations are as simple as tisanes or teas, made by properly infusing the dried herb in
hot water (always pure, most especially free of chlorine.) The nutrients, vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants and other healing properties are preserved in the dried herb intact
as Nature intended. Your skin (your largest organ) is wonderful in its ability to breathe,
absorb and feed your body, as well as act as a barrier against pollution and disease. The
use of herbs enhances your body's innate ability to stay well and healthy. The quiet
ritual use of herbs is grounding and rejuvenating to the spirit.
Eating well, getting regular rest and outdoor exercise and following other good rules for
wellness will be a help in assisting herbs restore a healthy balance to the entire body.
Herbs in general do not give instant results, and should be used regularly over a period
of weeks, sometimes months to produce a lasting beneficial effect. The beneficial use of
herbs is our birthright and connects us to the natural world around us. And while proper
use of herbs can be useful for maintenance or recovery, careless or excessive use of
certain herbs can be hazardous.
Because you prepare the application fresh for yourself, there is no need for chemical
preservatives. Your infusion, while best prepared fresh every day, can be stored up to one
week in the refrigerator. The unused herbal preparation can be stored for up to one year
in a dry cool place with little deterioration of strength.
