• Standardized extracts provide consistent dosing — important for herbs where potency varies.
• They are stronger than whole-herb preparations and may have different effects.
• Whole-herb preparations may contain beneficial synergistic compounds lost in extraction.
Standardized extracts are concentrated — do not exceed recommended doses. They may interact differently with medications than whole-herb preparations. Consult a healthcare provider if taking medications.
Follow manufacturer storage instructions. Typically store cool, dry, and away from light.

• Use a non-aluminum pot — aluminum can react with plant compounds.
• Decoctions are necessary for roots, bark, seeds, and mushrooms — these are too tough for simple steeping.
• You can simmer mushrooms (Reishi, Chaga) for 2+ hours for stronger extraction.
Some roots are very potent — follow specific dosing guidelines for individual herbs. Avoid decocting herbs with volatile oils (peppermint, chamomile) as you will lose the beneficial compounds.
Refrigerate and use within 48-72 hours. Can be gently reheated.
• Honey can mask bitter flavors — add after the liquid has cooled below 104°F (40°C) to preserve honey's properties.
Start with smaller amounts and increase gradually. Powdered herbs are concentrated — measure carefully.
Store in airtight containers away from light and moisture. Use within 6-12 months.
