Hilde Hemmes Agrimony Traditional Herbal Tea
Astringent tonic, diuretic. Agrimony has had a great reputation for curing jaundice and other liver complaints. Gerard believed
in its efficacy. He says: A decoction of the leaves is good for them that have naughty livers': and he tells us also that Pliny called it a herb of princely authoritie. Dioscorides stated that it was not only a remedy for them that have bad livers, but also for such as are bitten with serpents. Dr. Hill, who
from 1751 to 1771 published several works on Herbal medicine, recommends an infusion of 6 oz. of the crown of the root in a quart of boiling water, sweetened with honey and half a pint drank three times a day, as an effectual remedy for jaundice. It gives tone to the system and promotes assimilation of food.
Hilde Hemmes Agrimony Traditional Herbal Tea is also considered a very useful agent in skin eruptions and diseases
of the blood, pimples, blotches, etc. A strong decoction of the root and leaves,
sweetened with honey or sugar, has been taken successfully to cure scrofulous
sores, being administered two or three times a day, in doses of a wineglassful,
persistently for several months. The same decoction is also often employed in
rural districts as an application to ulcers.
Over thousands of years, humans have discovered which plants have beneficial
value, which may be used as food, and which should be avoided. This vital
information has been recorded in ancient herbal manuscripts and passed on by
word of mouth from generation to generation.
Today, many people are excited to rediscover the
fascinating history of herbs and to enjoy their beneficial properties. Enjoying
traditional herbal teas is one way that people can reconnect with the past and
appreciate just how much nature has to offer.
Over the years I have collected many rare,
out-of-print books on herbs and their uses, and have discovered many valuable
recipes and ancient formulae that may otherwise have been forgotten.
Herb teas do not contain true tea leaves, but the
carefully selected flowers, berries, peels, seeds, leaves and roots of selected
herbal plants. These parts of the herbal plants are chosen for their natural
aromatic actives and special flavours.
Using herbs to care for yourself and your family
is an empowering experience - it allows you to tap into the power of nature. I
know you will enjoy the positive contribution that herbs can make in your life.
Herbal teas are best stored at about 20°C, away
from direct sunlight and in a dry environment.
Dosage of Hilde Hemmes Agrimony Traditional Herbal Tea
Traditionally, a hot infusion is one of
the simplest ways to prepare most dried herbs for use as a tea. To prepare each
hot infusion, take one heaped teaspoonful of the herbs and pour one cup of
boiling water over them. Cover the cup with a lid or saucer. Allow the mixture
to steep for 3-5 minutes and strain before using.
A decoction is the method used for herbs such as
roots, bark, twigs and berries. To prepare a decoction, take one heaped
teaspoonful of herbs and place them in a saucepan with one cup of cold water.
Bring the mixture to the boil, simmer for 10-15 minutes (longer if the roots are
very hard) and strain before drinking.
If not using the tea straight away, you can store
it in a covered jug or container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and gently
warm the mixture before drinking.
