These are just old remedies of older times, they may work for you or they may not. They are recipes that have been past down through the generations, and are still very much used in some family circles of native and non-native communities.
Homeopathic/herbal remedies are being sought out again, because of the increasing scare of some medical prescriptions on the market.

We can only hope and pray, we can maybe help some one along the way, where nothing else seemed to work before for their particular ailment.
Some of the prescriptions are for self-help. Where more than one herb is used for a mixture, you will find the prescription given in parts, to enable you to make the correct proportions.

For a DECOCTION is:
1 ounce (30 g) dried root or root bark to 1 pint of water
