Canning jars are the ideal vessel for this since they are not going to break due to the very hot water. Herbal infusions consist of large amounts (1 oz.) of the dried herb, steeped for a long time (4-8 hours or overnight) in boiling water. For real medicinal benefits, however, nourishing herbal infusions are steeped for much longer and you use a great deal more dried plant material. A herbal tea uses a very small amount of herb per cup (usually a teaspoon) and it is steeped for perhaps 20 minutes or so at best, which is fine for an afternoon drink to enjoy. What are nourishing herbal infusions and how are they made? Herbal infusions are NOT teas.
#Symphytum uplandica skin#
My skin is firm with a nice, healthy glow and my lines even seem to be a little diminished. My hair is starting to thicken up (I lost a bunch after my long water fast) and become more shiny. Other benefits I have noticed include a new ability to jump up and down without any negative consequences, so just from that, I can tell my tissues have strengthened. The aching pain in my hands (Dupuytren’s Disease) was practically undetectable. The fibrous nodules that I have in the arches of my feet (Plantar Fibromatosis) were smaller and less painful. Soon after starting to drink about a quart a day of these infusions of nettle, oat straw, cleavers and red clover, I noticed that the connective tissue disease I suffer from had improved. The story that convinced me to give this a try was that of a woman reversing her osteoporosis simply with the regular use of these infusions. In the book, we learn which herbs are best used as nourishing herbal infusions and which are best used as tinctures or as a simple tea (the aromatic ones, like mints). This book contains a lot of useful information for anyone who is interested in a positive approach to healthy, natural aging. I learned about this great idea when I stumbled on “New Menopausal Years, The Wise Woman Way: Alternative Approaches for Women 30-90” by herbalist Susun Weed in a used book store. I have been imbibing these drinks, usually a quart a day, on a pretty regular basis for about 4 months. This is true no matter what your health problem as with natural medicine, what heals one thing, heals all things.
Nourishing herbal infusions are a rich source of bioavailable phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and protein to improve your health and beauty – firming skin, strengthening bones and generally helping you to look and feel better without expensive supplements.
