How to Prepare Wollemi Bush

T
Herbal Tea (Infusion)Easy · 10-15 minutes

Equipment

Kettle or pot, Mug or teapot, Strainer or tea infuser, Measuring spoon

Instructions

  1. 1Bring fresh water to a rolling boil (200-212°F / 93-100°C).
  2. 2Place 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb (or 1 tablespoon fresh) per 8 oz cup into your strainer or infuser.
  3. 3Pour hot water over the herbs and cover to prevent volatile oils from escaping.
  4. 4Steep for 10-15 minutes for medicinal strength (5 minutes for a lighter, everyday tea).
  5. 5Remove the strainer/herbs. Add honey, lemon, or other herbs to taste if desired.
  6. 6Drink 1-3 cups daily, or as directed by a qualified herbalist.

Tips

  • • Covering while steeping is important — it traps beneficial volatile compounds.
  • • Leaves and flowers generally need 10-15 minutes; roots and bark need a decoction instead.
  • • Make larger batches and refrigerate for up to 48 hours.

Start with a small amount to check for any sensitivity. Not all herbs are suitable for tea preparation — some require alcohol extraction (tincture) for full potency.

Drink fresh or refrigerate for up to 48 hours. Dried herbs should be stored in airtight containers away from light.

  • • Essential oils are HIGHLY concentrated — one drop of peppermint oil equals roughly 28 cups of peppermint tea.
  • • Always buy from reputable suppliers — the market is full of adulterated/synthetic oils.
  • • Lavender and Tea Tree are among the few oils considered safe for occasional undiluted spot use.

NEVER apply undiluted essential oils to skin (except Lavender/Tea Tree in small amounts). NEVER ingest essential oils without professional guidance. Keep away from eyes, inner ears, and mucous membranes. Some oils are toxic to pets (especially cats). NEVER use near the face of infants/toddlers.

Store in dark glass bottles away from heat and light. Most oils last 1-3 years. Citrus oils oxidize faster (6-12 months).

  • • Plantain leaf poultice is a classic first-aid remedy for insect bites — just chew a fresh leaf and apply.
  • • Comfrey leaf poultice is traditional for sprains and bruises (external only, intact skin only).
  • • Activated charcoal mixed with ground flaxseed makes a drawing poultice.

FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Do not apply to open wounds unless specifically indicated. Discontinue if skin irritation occurs. Some herbs (Arnica, Comfrey) should never be used on broken skin.

Make fresh each time. Do not store prepared poultices.
