They should be mixed with warm water or with other liquids such as aloe juice and rose water or even with infusions such as chamomile, hibiscus or others. Prepare yourself by taking a ceramic bowl and a wooden spoon , no to metal, it can alter its properties. We recommend that you sift the powders well to avoid lumps. Start by putting a couple of spoonfuls of powder in the empty bowl and then add more as needed. Now pour in the liquid you have chosen, make sure it is warm - not boiling - because heat releases the properties of the medicinal herbs. Add a little liquid at a time and mix until you obtain a creamy consistency , not liquid and not too dense. Now you need a little patience, you will have to leave the mixture to rest for 15 to 30 minutes, except for some herbs that need to hydrate for about 12 hours and you can therefore prepare them the night before and then use them the following day.

The walnut husk is the fleshy part that surrounds the shell of the walnut , from the plant of the same name Walnut : scientific name Juglans regia L.
