I have a pack of dry herbs, how to prepare it?

The following are the instructions of tea preparation:

image of Chinese Herbs Place herbs into a glass pot with 4-5 cups of water and let soak for about 10 minutes until all herbs have absorbed some water.

Boil with the lid on the pot for about 1 hour stirring a few times while reducing the liquid to approximately 1 cup. Use a pot that has a small hole in the lid or place the lid so that some vapor will escape.

Strain liquid into a smaller dish then add 2-3 cups of water to the herbs and boil again until there is 1 cup remain. It takes about 45 minutes.

Strain liquid and mix the two strained portions together. Divide this in two and this will provide 2 days of drinking tea.

The tea may taste bitter but if you stick to the guidelines given to you, you will notice improvement. Remember this is not a quick fix like taking a pill but rather a cleansing or supporting of the internal organs.

Please make an appointment at 604-464-6523 or 604-533-8573 before coming.
