- A Scale.

HERE’S WHAT TO DO
1. Measure 30g of the dried herb of your choice into a 1 litre glass jar.
2. Pour over 1 litre of boiling water.
3. Stir to wet the dried herb.

Why Nourishing herbal Infusions and not a tea?
Herb tea, while being useful to deliver a herb's healing properties, fails to deliver the mineral richness locked into many common herbs. A cup of nettle tea, for instance, contains only 5-10 mg of calcium. On the other hand, a cup of nettle infusion contains up to 500 mg of calcium. For optimum nutrition, drink nourishing herbal infusions every day.

Only use safe herbs for nourishing herbal infusions, herbs that can be taken everyday like a food. Here is a list of some of the herbs that are generally safe to take as a nourishing herbal infusion. Always remember to consult your doctor before taking any herbal infusions.
