Labeling & Storing Natural Remedies

Label your creations with names and dates. You can do this with masking tape and a waterproof Sharpie or buy fancy labels at a craft store. 

 

Fresh herbs can be refrigerated or frozen in closed containers or Ziploc freezer bags. However, flowers and leaves should be used within 2-3 days. Roots, bark, and berries will last a few weeks. You can place a small piece of clean, damp cloth in the container to keep them from drying out too quickly. Use pure water to avoid contaminants.

 

Dried herbs should be stored in capped, dark glass jars in a cool place. 

 

Store infusions (teas) in the fridge for 24 hours and decoctions for 48 hours.
