  4. Tips on Preparation for Intake of Herbal Medicines:

    • Use only half the dosage prescribed for fresh parts like leaves when using dried parts.

    • Do not use stainless steel utensils when boiling decoctions. Only use earthen, enamelled, glass or alike utensils.

    • As a rule of thumb, when boiling leaves and other plant parts, do not cover the pot, and boil in low flame.

    • Decoctions loose potency after some time. Dispose of decoctions after one day. To keep fresh during the day, keep lukewarm in a flask or thermos.

    • Always consult with a doctor if symptoms persist or if any sign of allergic reaction develops.
