Medical Preparation Types

Tincture

Mix a handful of the given herb with the alcohol in a cup. Wait as long as possible and begin soaking the tincture in either skin or a cloth to heal.

Poultice

Mix warm water and crushed herb of choice to make a paste-like mixture. Spread this mixture on a piece of cloth, and cover the wound with it. 

Ointment

Mix an oil with the herb to create an ointment that is easily applied to the skin

Decotion (Drink)
A preparation of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in which the dried herbs are placed in water, boiled until the volume is markedly reduced, and the dregs strained off; it results in virtually complete extraction of the herb’s essence and medicinal potential, as well as rapid absorption and onset of action.
