In this video you will learn the difference between infusions and decoctions, how to use which method and why, and how to effectively use each method.
Herbal infusions and decoctions are two popular methods of extracting the beneficial properties of herbs for medicinal or culinary purposes. Herbal infusions involve steeping herbs in hot water to extract their flavors and medicinal compounds, creating a flavorful and aromatic herbal tea.
On the other hand, decoctions involve simmering herbs in water to extract their active constituents, resulting in a more concentrated and potent liquid. Both methods offer numerous benefits, including providing a convenient and enjoyable way to consume herbs, supporting overall health and well-being, and offering a natural and holistic approach to healing and wellness.
Incorporating herbal infusions and decoctions into your daily routine can be a simple yet effective way to harness the power of herbs for various health benefits.
