Dried or fresh herbs for infusions

Dear Susun,

If I'm unable to use dried comfrey leaves for tea, can I use fresh, and would I need to double the amount of leaves you suggest for making the comfrey infussion?

Thanks,
Peg

 

Hi Peg,

You need to use dried leaves for the herbal infusions… using the dried herbs for water preparations such as the infusions increases the medicinal quality of them. From Susun:
“The herbs I use for my nourishing herbal infusions -- such as nettle, oatstraw, red clover, comfrey leaf, linden flowers, chickweed, or mullein leaves -- contain little or no volatiles to be lost in drying. Rather, drying liberates their minerals and other nourishing constituents.”

Herbal honey

Hi,
I want to make a honey tincture. Meaning put my plant material in honey, wait, and then take it in same as you do with tincture.
Is that possible? Can it work? And if so, how do I make it?

Thanks,
Tsipori.

 

Hello Tsipori,

You can certainly use most herbs steeped in honey – they will just be herbal honey rather than a tincture. A tincture is when you use alcohol as your medium. They are different – tinctures are a stronger medicine and the alcohol pulls out a greater concentration of the medicinal qualities from the plant. Since it is strong, you are usually only using a number of drops at a time when using a tincture – that low amount would be ineffective in regards to honey. Herbal honey can be used in greater amounts. I would suggest reading over some of the links below and also watch Susun as she makes some of her herbal honey in the videos below.
