Some patients may find them hard to drink. They can take some getting used to. Some find that a specific tea made for their condition tastes good and welcome the medicinal tea-time in their day. Herbs are also prepared as pills, made into tinctures or extracts, granulated for use as tea and applied as topicals. The method of ingestion depends on each individual's preference and the practitioner's recommendations.
Many herbs are safe to use with babies, children and adults of all ages.
They can be used for detox situations, to tonify deficiencies, to quell fever, stop pain, settle down, to dry or to moisten. They are a wonderful alternative to help in living a more natural state of health, being used preventively and when disorders arise. Linda Nash Stevenson, A.P., Dipl. Inc. All rights reserved.
