General

We used to include instructions with each order, however, we found that customers were still reaching out for instructions.  As a result of this, we have published preparation instructions below:

How to Prepare your Loose Leaf Herbs (leaves, flowers, cut & sifted and thin stems):

Option 1: - Add 1 full tablespoon of herbs to 2-3 cups of water & bring to a
boil.- Turn off the stove and allow the herbs to steep for 15-20 minutes
before drinking (the longer the herbs steep, the stronger it will be).

Option 2: - Add 0.5-1 cup of herbs to a 16oz Mason Jar. -
Fill the jar with room temperature Spring/Distilled water and allow to
steep overnight. The longer you allow the herbs to steep in the water,
the stronger your brew will be. Roots/Barks & Stems:-
Add 1 full cup of herbs to a gallon of water & simmer for 40-45
minutes.- Turn off stove and allow the herbs to steep for 2-4 hours
before drinking (the longer the herbs steep, the stronger
it will be).*In order to avoid dehydration & headaches,
please consume 1 gallon of Natural Spring Water daily, when consuming
herbs & herbal supplements. Best results if consumed in conjunction

tonics/teas can last up to 5 days if refrigerated and mixed daily. Key
Lime can also be added as a preservative to extend the life of the
brew

Leaves and flowers: Each teaspoon of herbs can make up to 3 cups of tea.

Stems, Barks, and Roots: Each teaspoon should make 3-5 cups of your drink, depending on how strong you desire for it to be

Your used herbs can be stored in a small class jar/container or freezer bag and placed in the freezer for up to 60 days.

Place your herbs in a food-safe bag (Kraft bag) or glass jar and store it in a cool dark area. Herbs that are unexposed to moisture and sunlight can last for up to 1 year.

We recommend that you speak to a healthcare professional before starting any herbal regimes. 

We do not recommend that all herbs be mixed, please consult a Licensed Master Herbalist or your healthcare professional before starting any herbal regimens.

If you are consuming herbs for daily maintenance, such as capsules containing Seamoss, Iron PH, Lymphatic System or Anti inflammatory; we recommend that you take them in the morning to get your day started with tons of energy and minerals to carry you throughout the day. Other capsules that are more specific such as; Kidney/Liver Flush can be taken with food at any time of the day.

There is more than one way to consume the herbs purchased in capsule form. You can open the capsules and add to your food, smoothies, juice or water.
