Plant-based preparations

The upcoming entries on our blog will focus on a very important topic in the world of plants: preparations. There are many methods to prepare them, and the key is to communicate with the plants to release, extract, and activate their virtues.

Before you start, keep in mind:

• Always prepare everything with filtered water.
• Use glass, porcelain, ceramic containers and stainless steel strainers.
• Work with plants that you know where they come from and how they have been cultivated; choose organic and ecological agriculture processes.
• If you are going to use fresh plants you need a greater quantity than dried ones.
• Dried plants have everything in greater concentration.
• Our choice is almost always to use the plants as whole as possible.

It is important to keep in mind that the more vibrational the preparation (floral essences, homeopathy) will work in our more subtle bodies, while the more concentrated (essential oils and phytotherapeutic preparations) we will feel the virtues at a more physical and emotional level.

Remember to explore your relationship with plants from consciousness, love, and responsible work with the earth, always honoring your Body.

In the upcoming entries we will tell you how to prepare infusions, decoctions, juices, baths, ferments, ointments, tinctures and smokes.
