preparation<br />

● Rule for making tea: pour 1/4 litres of boiling water over 1 – 2 tea -<br />

spoons of herbs; allow to infuse for 10 minutes.<br />

● Prepare mixtures in equal parts.<br />

● Roots: bring 1 teaspoon with 1/4 litre of water to the boil <strong>and</strong> allow<br />

to infuse for 10 minutes.<br />

… <strong>and</strong> remember<br />

● Also use medicinal herbs when you are feeling well: prevention is the<br />

● No one herb is grown to cure everything: Despite all the positive<br />

experiences had with our medicinal herbs, you should always consult<br />

a doctor immediately if you fall ill!
