Why decoctions?

Of the three main extraction methods used to produce herbal remedies, decoctions are simply the best. Macerations use solvents which may leave harmful residues in the end product, tinctures contain alcohol which is a systemic poison. Decoctions extract mineral salts and bitter principles through simmering herbs in our own distilled water for a prolonged period. The entire process takes 15 hours, is labour intensive so not conducive to mass production which is why herbal decoctions are uncommon on line. They contain far higher levels of active ingredients, no alcohol and can be made from hard plant parts unlike infusions. Our decoctions are made in small batches from organic ingredients by our fully qualified herbalist. They are also a superior form of supplementation than tablets or capsules, as most have artificially made ingredients, contain filers, flowing agents, excipients binding agents and preservatives. Also they often contain only one active ingredient neglecting the fact that molecules work synergistically in the body. Our qualified Herbalist uses only our own zero ppm quad filtered distilled water, all equipment used is stainless steel and our decoctions are bottled into steam sterilised UV resistant pharmaceutical grade glass bottles, which obviates the need to use preservatives of any kind. Be very careful not to touch the top of the bottle or the inside of the lid against anything or decant it into any container or jug that has not been steam sterilised unless the decoction is to be consumed immediately.

Maca is an edible herbaceous plant originally native exclusively to a single plateau in the Andes mountains of Peru. It is thought that Maca has been cultivated since as early as 1700BC. The Peruvian people are particularly fond of the plant, they use it in a plethora of dishes and beverages such as porridges, soups, and salads. The root can also be dried and ground into a flour, which can then be used in anything from bread to cakes. While using the plant as a source of calories the people of the Andes noticed that it can be used to treat conditions such as respiratory and rheumatic distress, however these days it is mainly popular amongst those wishing to improve libido and fertility.
