HELPFUL HINTS –
Al herbs used are of the highest quality. Only feed the amount prescribed, as feeding more doesn’t
mean the herbs wil work more effectively and only results in wastage.
Herbs are often better fed when they have been made into a tea, also known as an infusion. It increases their potency. Infusions can be made from fresh or dried herbs, which are soft, such as the flowers or leaves. Usual y about 600ml of boiling water is poured onto 30 grams of herb and then left to infuse for about 15 minutes. The whole lot, including the herb dregs, can then be fed.
To use hard plant material such as roots, seeds, bark etc, a decoction should be made. This is made by pouring 750ml of cold water over 30 grams of the cut up material in a saucepan and set aside for 12 hours. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain before use. Teas and decoctions may be stored in the fridge for a couple of days.
Herbs are best kept in a cool, dry environment. Plastic should be avoided because it can cause sweating and therefore ruin the herbs.
When using Linseed it should always be boiled first before feeding. When boiling the porridge mix or linseeds, put the quantity required into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and then let simmer for up to an hour. The linseeds wil cause a jel y type substance to form on the surface, when this occurs the mix should be ready. May be kept in the fridge for a few days.
