• Put the herbs in a medium pot and cover with 4-6 cups of water.
• Cook on a low boil until about 2 cups of liquid remain (20-30 minutes).
• Strain the liquid. Save the cooked herb.
• Take two doses per day between meals.
• Repeat with the same herbs the next day.

Each pack of raw herbs should yield two cup-size doses per day, for two days.

Note: Depending on the amount of herbs in your formula, you may want to use a little more or a little less water. Aim to have about two cups of liquid after each boiling. If you have a lot of remaining liquid, you can save it for later.
