Keep the mixture overnight and you can use it. When you drink everything (and this should be done by diluting 1 tablespoon of infusion with 3 tablespoons of water), you can pour vodka over the roots again.
And the easiest way to brew herbs – purchase them in pressed form, in the so-called. tablets, each of which is already designed for a certain amount of water.
Herbal preparations – the oldest and simplest way to use medicinal plants. Compiling them – it is a whole art that does not accept random and mutually exclusive "elements".
