My fellow apartment witches/witches on a budget/environment caring witches (duh) LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE BEST GIFT I EVER RECEIVED: Looks like a regular notebook? *Information from “Healing Teas - How to prepare and use read to maximize your health” by Marie Nadine Antol. Loosely fill a glass container with fresh or dried herbs and add some sort of food grade spirit (ex: vodka), vinegar can also be used for certain ingredients.Ĭork or otherwise seal the container and leave somewhere warm for 2 or more weeks. Tincture: A tincture uses alcohol to extract the properties of a herb or plant.
When thoroughly mixed simmer over low heat in active red pot for 1-2 hours.
Salve: Mix 3 ounces of finely pulped plant parts, 7 ounces of lard and 1 ounce of beeswax. Squeeze through a cheese clothe to remove solids and store in a crockery or glass container. Reheat until liquid then mix in 4 tablespoons of an organic oil, this will prevent it hardening to much. Remove from heat, cover and let sit over night. Stir to to blend and let simmer for 1 minute. Add 4 handfuls of crumbled dry herbs or 6 handfuls of chopped fresh herb to the lard. Ointment: Heat 2 cups of pure lard to frying temperature. Upend the container daily to ensure the oil saturates the material. Place the bottle somewhere warm for 2 weeks, next to a stove while cooking, on the mantle, a sunny window sill, etc. Fill the container with an organic oil (ex: Olive, sesame, etc) until it is an inch above the material being used. Oil: Place flowers, herbs or other plant parts in a sealed glass container. When using fresh herbs roughly 3 times as much is required. Infusion: Pour freshly boiled water over the desired herb or planar matter, roughly 8 ounces of water per teaspoon of dried plant parts. Strain the resulting liquid to remove particulates then drink or use as needed. Simmer uncovered until the water lever is reduced by 1/3. Place the raw materials in a pot and fill it with fresh water. Decoction: A decoction is needed to extract the deeper essence from harder substances such as barks, roots and stems. From infusions and tinctures to oils and salves: The basics of herbal healing and the beginnings of any potion.
