The best practice is to use them sparingly. An acceptable dose is a teaspoon of the herb of your choice for two glasses of water. The method of preparing the infusion is advisable to put two glasses of pure water in a pan, let boil, add the plant and shut down immediately. Letting it sit 10 minutes, strain and serve.
