Instructions for herbs use
Instructions for use
Medicinal herbs should be consumed with caution and with the consent of the doctor, especially by those who take other drugs or have serious health problems, but also by pregnant women, nursing mothers and of course children and adolescents.
Medicinal herbs are not a panacea, nor should we consume them in moderation and with the expectation that they will cure all diseases.
Anything that is natural does not mean that it is completely safe. Thus, medicinal plants should be used wisely and on the advice of experts who know them well.
Dosage
The quantities in which we can or should consume medicinal plants are very difficult to determine precisely. The right dosage depends on many factors, such as age, physique, illness of the person consuming them, as well as whether they are taking other medications or have other health problems. On the other hand, we need to keep in mind that not all herbs, no matter where they come from, have the same activity, as it varies depending on various factors, cultivation, harvesting, drying, storage, etc. Generally we can say that a sufficient amount for an adult who has taken into account all the contraindications is one cup of infusion or decoction at a time. For more tips, or for systematic use,
Their forms
Decoction
The plant is boiled with water, usually for 5-10΄, and then filtered. Used for woody parts, such as roots or bark.
Infusion
It is a method suitable for leaves, flowers and petals, but not for the roots. It is also used when we do not want the volatile ingredients to leave, as in the case of aromatic plants. To prepare it, boil water, remove from the heat and add the herb. Then, leave the mixture like this for 5-10΄ and then filter it.
Where do we find the most active?
It is a common misconception that wild plants are more active than cultivated plants. When the varieties grown, the care of the plants and the season of collection, the storage (dark places and not wet) and the drying (when needed) are correct, then no significant differences are observed from the wild ones. It is also important to consume herbs no later than one year from the time of collection.
