Storage of your Herbal Products


Herbal products come in many forms - teas, tinctures (liquid extracts), capsules, tablets, compresses, poultices, salves, creams, baths, footbaths (to name a few!), and of course, used in foods!  Here is how to care and store some of the most frequently used forms of herbal products:

Dried Herbs

If possible, store your dried herbs in a glass container, which will keep them fresh longer. Using dark glass will help to further keep light out, which ages the herb more quickly and can compromise its quality.  A dried herb should appear vibrant in color and have a wonderful smell to it.  Even though it’s dried, it should have an “alive” vibrancy to it – you should be able to sense the life in it!

Tinctures - What are they and how do you use them?

Learn what is a tincture, how you take a tincture, what is a tincture dropperful, and why the tincture doesn't fill the entire dropper

Testimonial

I’ve so enjoyed reading the newsletters and incredibly valuable information found on your website!

The Hem Stopper Tincture is my go-to for excess bleeding. I really can’t believe how well it helps stop bleeding.

I give Iron Tonic to all my mamas who are in need of blood building support. Recently I had a 30 week client tell me how much energy she’s now feeling after taking Iron Tonic for just a few days.

I’ve also had a mama use Itch Soother with excellent results. I’m excited to have my clients try more Herb Lore remedies!

Thank you Herb Lore for all you do to support midwives and families during the childbearing year!
