Types of Herbal Remedies
I’ve compiled a list of types of herbal remedies, with brief instructions on how to make them. Choose your herbs carefully, as some are poisonous, some will interfere with health problems and medications, and some can cause allergic reactions.
If you are concerned about any health issue you have, or worried about herbs reacting with your medications, go talk to your doctor. This post is not intended as medical advice.
Compress
This is usually cloth that has been soaked in a herbal infusion so that it can be applied topically. Useful for skin issues, muscle pain, joint pain, and general aches.
You can make one by soaking cotton wool in a warm infusion of your choice, wrapping the balls in a piece of clean cloth, and applying to the affected area. Once the cloth cools down you can soak it again in the warm tea and reapply.
Infusion
This is basically the herbalist term for tea. The herbs are usually dried and ground before being steeped in very hot water and then strained out. If you use a bag then you can skip the straining.
Tincture
This is similar to an infusion but much stronger, and with alcohol instead of water, which helps to preserve it.
Put your herbs in a jar. Cover them with alcohol (most people I know use vodka). Put the lid on the jar and shake it daily for a month or so, then strain the herbs out. I tend to keep mine in the little dropper bottles, as you normally don’t need to take much at once.
Decoction
I like to think of these as a stronger infusion. You need four times as much boiling water as dried herb, and you want to simmer the mixture for about half an hour before straining.
Syrup
These are herbs mixed with a sugary substance, which makes them easier to consume and helps to preserve them a little. They’re a good way to get your herbs in if you have a sore throat, as they are often quite soothing.
You’ll need a couple ounces of fresh herb per pint of water. Put them on the stove and heat until about half of the water has evaporated. Then you need to add about five tablespoons of sugar/honey/maple syrup per pint of water you used originally (so if you put two pints in the pan, you need ten tablespoons). Keep stirring for about twenty minutes, then take it off the heat and bottle it up. You need to keep syrups in the fridge, preferably in a dark coloured jar or bottle.
Balm
Essential oils and beeswax, basically. Add about twenty drops of essential oil to a cup of melted beeswax, stick it in a jar, let it cool, and there you go! You can mix in juiced herbs if you like, but that’s optional.
Salve
A salve is basically essential oils mixed with beeswax, oils and herbs. I have seen them made with coconut oil, though if you live in a warmer environment then coconut oil won’t work for you as it melts. You need about fifty/fifty dried herbs and beeswax (if you live somewhere warm) or use a mixture of beeswax and an oil like olive or safflower if you live somewhere colder, just so it’s soft enough to use. Use about twenty drops of oil per cup of beeswax. You’ll need to melt the wax in a double boiler, and let the herbs infuse in the molten wax for about half an hour. Then you add your essential oils, and pour the molten salve into the containers and let it cool.
Ointment
This is basically a liquid balm or salve. Follow the methods above, but use oil instead of beeswax.
Bath
When taking a herbal bath, you are basically making a giant cup of tea! Fill an organza bag with your chosen herbs, and put it in the bath while you run the water, then remove it before you get in. You can reuse the bag of herbs, but they lose potency with each use, so I try to avoid doing this.
Poultice
This is a paste of herbs and sometimes other things that is applied to the skin. Used for infections, splinters, burns, boils etc. They’re pretty simple to make, you just mix some dried herbs with a tiny bit of boiling water to form a paste, put it on the area, and use a piece of cloth or gauze to keep it there. If you want to use fresh herbs you just mash them up.
Pearls are top tier jewelry 🙌 (even my fake ones lol).
This Wellbutrin and Zoloft combo really got me feeling like I’m walking in slow motion while anxious and jittery at the same time lol. Thank you Mr. Psychiatrist.
Black Plums
As the bay storm surges in my mind
And worries deflect like mirrored light
On the gravel path I traveled by daily
Bordered by black plum trees side by side
Whose thorns follow my pace and point
Their fruit so sweet but a clasp leaves a bite
A thousand pricks on my brain
Pushed in further by the bay storm
After I tried so hard to reach my love
My sweet gentle fruit and fight
From inside the black plum tree.

Looking a memes describing life with BPD while actively experiencing a BPD episode 🤪
(^_^)
Do any of y’all have trouble deciding what theme to decorate a room? I want some kind of cursed combination between dark wood paneling, Victorian naturalist lab, greenhouse, mushroom cabin, witch hovel, art exhibit, and bohemian inspired décor.
idk this could be fun :)
I propose we normalize formalwear for houseplants :)
👣some cryptid banners i made for my room! they’re just felt and hot glue. rbs are appreciated, so please don’t re-post! 👣
✨live, laugh, lurk!✨

Squirrelcore
- cozy, fuzzy, and oversized outfits
- neutral earth tone colour palette (oranges, browns, greys and off whites)
- lots of wood paneling and wood decorations
- little cozy blanket filled nooks
- lots of little house plants
- little collections of random things from nature
- long and rambling walks in the woods (especially in the fall)
- acting jittery and chaotic (lots of coffee can help with this lol)
netflix & chill is OUT alchemy & homosexuality is IN
happy with how this came out
May get lost but I’m ok with it tbh :)
Something I helped develop with a few colleagues for the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators: sciartober! Anyone want to join me?
This looks fun!
