Herbal Medicine
Currently, most herbal medicines are made into herbal powders. The powder form of herbs has only been introduced a few years back. Traditionally, the herbs are mixed and boiled in water. The herbs would then be filtered out and you'll drink the water which would taste bitter.
But nowadays, new technology has been developed so that the herbs are made into powders but the nature of the herbs has not been lost in any ways.
The doctor will mix different herbs together recording to your conditions.
He will also tell you how much you'll need to take each day. All you need to do is to put the powder in a cup of boiling water and drink it! It would taste a bit like coffee depending on what herb is in it. But it will taste much better than the traditional boiled herbs!
Powders usually work much better than tablets and are recommended if the conditions are serious and need urgent treatments.
