Different methods of herbal preparation impact how herbs interact with the body. Why is marshmallow tea so much more soothing and demulcent when infused in cold water instead of hot? And why is a tulsi tincture made with a higher percentage ethanol so much more aromatic and potent than one made with 80 proof vodka, but not so for another plant? In this class, we will explore the most common methods of herbal preparations and the benefits and drawbacks of each, as well as how to pick an extraction method that meets your goals based on the actions and chemistry of a given plant.
