Two major methods for preparing medicinal herbal teas are infusion and decoction.
Infusion is one of the major ways to make herbal medicinal teas. Bring distilled water to a boil, then pour the boiling water over the dried herbs. Putting the herbs in a tea ball can make the process easier. Let the herbs steep in the hot water, typically for twenty minutes. Typical proportions are one ounce (or 28 grams) of dried herbs to one pint of distilled boiling water. After steeping, strain the herbs out (this is why a tea ball is easier). Drink the resulting tea. More info on infusions.
Decoction is one of the major ways to make herbal medicinal teas. Bring distilled water to a boil, then add the dried herbs. Putting the herbs in a tea ball can make the process easier. Simmer the tea on a low heat for ten minutes to one hour, depending on the hardness of the herb or root. Typical proportions are one ounce (or 28 grams) of dried herbs to one pint of distilled water. After simmering, strain the herbs out (this is why a tea ball is easier). Drink the resulting tea. More info on decoctions.
Medicinal teas call for much higher quantities of herbs than regular herbal teas. The amount of herbs in herbal teas are very small, too small to be medically useful.
Self-medication should not be used as a substitute for professional medical care. Please confirm all self-medication with your doctor or health care professional.

Stop corporate Blood Libel!!!
Take action for Witches Rights!!!The state of California claims that Witches don’t have the same equal protection under the law as Jews and Blacks!
The Blood Libel is the false claim made by the Inquisitions, Witch Hunts, and Witch Trials that supposedly Witches (the Inquisitions, Witch Hunts, and Witch Trials) and Jews (the Inquisitions), who supposedly were extremely ugly with large noses, supposedly kidnapped Christian babies and children (supposedly Witches lured them with offers of herbal candies), supposedly raped Christian babies and children (including oral and anal sodomy), supposedly tortured Christian babies and children, supposedly murdered Christian babies and children by baking or cooking them, and then supposedly committed canabilism by eating the cooked bodies of Christian babies and children.
The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing claims that Ralphs grocery Company (part of Kroger) has the right to engage in the Blood Libel. The DFEH said it would take action against the Blood Libel aimeed at Jews, but not when aimed at Witches.
If you are against the Blood Libel, please contact California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Call 916-445-2841 now. Or e-mail the Governor (choose “Fair Employment and Housing” from the subject menu). Those outside of the U.S. can write a letter to: the Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, State Capitol Building, Sacramento, CA 95814, USA. Please be very polite.
Read the Blood Libel web page for more information on the history of the Blood Libel in the Inquisition, Witch Hunts, Witch trials, and Burning Times.
