It is preserved as a dried form. The herb is harvested in its natural form (roots, stems, bark, flowers, fruit and/or leaves), It is sometimes cut into pieces for easy storage and to be used for tea.

Raw herbs are not simply eaten. The herbs are soaked, boiled and strained in a process called “decoction”. You may decoct and take raw herbs either individually or in combination, as a formula, depending on your particular needs and concerns.
