Herbal Glossary
Capsule - Herb Capsules are made by placing crushed, dried herbs or herb combinations into gel capsules to be taken orally.
Compress - A cloth soaked in a decoction or infusion to use on the body topically to, usually to soothe inflammation.
Decoction - A decoction is similar to an infusion, but it is specifically used for tougher parts of the plants such as roots, seeds and bark. The plant parts are actually boiled in the water for 20 minutes with the cover on, this way the valuable medicines are not lost during evaporation.
Infusion - An infusion is made by boiling water and placing the herbs in to soak after the water has come to a complete boil. The herbs are then steeped with the cover on for 20-30 minutes (or longer if desired). So, when you make a cup of tea, you’re basically making an infusion.
Poultice - A poultice is made from herbs that have been soaked within a permeable cloth, like a tea bag, and used topically on the body.
Tincture - A tincture, or herbal extract, is a concentrated form of an herb made by placing the herb usually in brandy or vodka in a sealed container. It will then brew in a cool dark place for at least three to four weeks or until you are ready to strain & bottle your extract. An herbal extract or tincture can last indefinitely as opposed to a dried herb that only has a one to two year shelf life. The alcohol is used as a preservative, but also because it has the particular ability to extract the medicines from the plant.
