Strawberry leaves decoction

Strawberry leaves should be harvested in August-September. Before drying the leaves, they should be slightly dried for 3-5 hours so that they become soft. Soft leaves are kneaded and transferred to a cardboard box. It is desirable that they be placed in a thin layer. We leave them for about 7-9 hours. After that, the leaves are dried outdoors or in the oven. It is recommended to store dried strawberry leaves in a dry, well-ventilated room.

Strawberry leaf tea contains vitamin C and phytoncides - herbal antibiotics. Therefore, it is recommended to use it for colds, as well as for inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, chronic liver and kidney diseases, angina and laryngitis. A decoction of strawberry leaves will bring invaluable benefits to hypertensive patients. It effectively dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.

You can prepare a healing decoction from both fresh leaves and dry ones. If the foxes are fresh, their number should be doubled. Dry raw materials are more concentrated, so less is needed.
