USE

Administrations::

Herbs can be used as tea, oil, as juice, ointment, as liqueur or wine, or as infusion an in many other ways. They all have their quality or purpose. Some herbs cannot be taken, but are a wonderful ointment on an oily basis or to inhale. In general there is to say that more is not always better. As with medicine the dosage is important. Stay away from poisonous herbs, who belong in the hands of experts. And if you are unsure of how often to use a herb, without risking a harmful effect, you'd better ask as well.

How do herbs work?
Herbs contain many valuable substances of all different kinds. Their effect on the human body is depending on the type of ingredients.
Carbohydrate - divided in cellulose (fibre), pectin, starch (in the green parts and roots), fructose, glucose (in ripe fruits)
Protein - especially as valuable enzymes and ferments
Vitamins - (leaves, fruits, berries), vitamin c, a and b, seldom e
Mineral nutrient and trace elements (important for the metabolism)
Plant hormons
Essential oils (bactericidal)
Organic acids (laxative)
Tannic acid (bactricidal, astringend)
Bitter sonstituent (increase of salivation and gastric juices)
Mucus substance (for infections of the skin and of the upper respiratory tract)

Of course this list is not complete, but serves only the purpose of giving an impression of the variety of substances, and therefore to a better understanding of why herbs are essential for your health.
