How to collect medicinal herbs?
When harvesting herbs, it is worth paying attention to the area in which they grow: it should be clean and located far from roads and fields. Roads pollute cars, arable land - chemical fertilizers. It is important to arrange the harvested plants loosely. Wicker basket is best suited for this, but foil bags are strictly forbidden - quickly brewed herbs will lose their valuable properties. Specific parts of plants must be harvested at certain times of the year. For example, roots and rhizomes are picked only in early spring or late autumn, while from May to mid-September you can easily reach for all kinds of herbs, leaves and fruits. The flowers should be picked on dry days at the beginning of flowering, the leaves - before the flowering period, because this is when they contain the most active substances.
