How to Properly Store Dried Herbs: They Will Retain Their Beneficial Properties for Years
Medicinal herbal infusions can be used to brew tea or prepare a bath.
In summer, there are no problems with this – you just need to take the necessary plants in the required quantity and use them according to the recipe.
In winter, when everything around is covered with snow, you have no choice but to use the preparations made in advance.
If you want dried herbs to retain their inherent taste, smell and healing properties for as long as possible, they must be stored in accordance with certain rules.
For better preservation, the leaves, roots and stems should be crushed.
If you brew herbs not individually, but in combination with each other, at this stage you can prepare the necessary infusions.
After that, pour them into clean and dry containers. Dark glass jars, thick cardboard, wood or ceramic containers are suitable for storage. But plastic or plastic should be avoided.
Fill the container with dried herbs and close the lid tightly, after which you can leave the mixture in a dry and dark place.
