For all the treatments listed here, the following general instructions apply:
Use only one plant medicine at a time. In treating the ailment, use only one plant medicine, the one available to you, where several are suggested.
Use only stainless or earthen cooking utensils. Where the treatment calls for boiling any medicinal plant leaves, flowers or barks, don't boil it in an aluminum utensil. Aluminum reacts chemically with medicinal elements in plants.
Don't cover cooking utensil when boiling. This is done to release toxins, if there are any.
Boil for a one-day supply only. Any decoction's effectivity is good for only 8-12 hours after boiling.
Take decoction either hot or cold. Strain decoction before taking it.
Wash thoroughly any leaves, barks, flowers and roots with water before boiling or using it as poultice.
Do not use or boil two or more different herbal plants together, unless instructed to do so.
Follow instructions carefully, especially the measurements and the dosage.

Symptoms of allergy are: Increased itching and swelling, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, and headache. Consult a physician immediately if symptoms persist.
