Herbal Tea Blends
Medicinal Infusions
Prepared by steeping an herb in either sun, cold, room temperature or flash boiled (just below boiling point, as to not burn delicate plat material) water for varying amounts of time.
Infusions /decoctions are a widely accessible and forgiving method of medicine making , and are effective ways of extracting minerals and a more complete array of the plantβs nutrients/constituents.
Medicinal infusions are an excellent way to incorporate herbs into our daily lives, and to gently yet effectively rebalance the body. I personally am always drinking a blend as a daily nutritive base, and find them invaluable in the healing process and over all well-BEing.
Women who regularly drink herbal infusions are much less likely to need vitamin or mineral supplements, more able to maintain a higher level of health and likely to recover from stress, illness or injury faster.
Instructions: can be brewed in a pot, tea pot, french press, or a mason jar.
Typical dosage is 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of herb per 8 ounce filtered H2O (depending on strength)
A traditional adult dosage for a long standing chronic condition is 1 cup 3-4 times a day or 1 quart daily. Medicinal formulas are usually much stronger nutritive teas using much more herb.
Bulk Brew: Using 1 ounce ( 4-6 tsp) herb or herb blend per quart (1 qt is 4 cups) - fill with hot to just below boiling water, cover tightly and steep 20 minutes , 4+ hours to overnight. Strain and ENJOY! Can be refrigerated and kept in fridge for up to 4 days.
Cheers, Drink to Health!
Plant material can be RE USED- REBREWED up to 2-3 times! Just be sure to double infusion time. You do not want to waste any medicine! Each successive brew will be less potent.
Example: if you purchased a sleep aid or potty tea - you will want to go slow and mild - if you purchased Inflammation or allergy - you may start out fast(er) and stronger! Play with it! Herbal medicine is very forgiving.

*A menstrum is the liquid used to extract the constituents from the plant material. When you make a hebal infusion, the menstrum is water. When making a tincture the menstrum is alcohol, vinegar or glycerin. Unlike water, these menstrums not only extract out the plant constituents but they also preserve your medicine, often for many years.
Definition: Herbal constituents are the active ingredients of plants. They are plant metabolites (phytochemicals) which when consumed, have a definable physiological and potentially medicinal effect on the body.
