Something happens when we harvest living plants – something is transmitted from our planet -some aliveness. Once processed some of this transmission and aliveness is lost. Hand harvesting, hand processing of tinctures and teas stores more of this aliveness than machine capsules with dehydrated ground herbs. Even freshly harvested and tinctured medicine plants lose potency after a while.
There is a chemical reaction that happens in the mouth when you actually taste the plants—sweet bitter pungent and salty matter to the absorption and effect.
Try eating your medicine right out of the ground the native way.
