Brahmi ghee  
  
  Ghee is cooked with herbal juices,   decoctions or pastes. The ghee should be   heated with the herbal mixture at   moderate, controlled temperature. High   temperatures can easily burn the ghee or   oil, destroying its     effectiveness.   Medicated ghee and oils are either used   internally or massaged externally.
  Dosage: Half to one tablespoon.

    Tablets
    The herbs should be first dried separately and then mixed together in a powder     form, in fixed proportions. Water     or herbal juice can be added to this powder to     make a paste, from which tablets of a specific size or weight are     made. Tablets     remain potent longer than juices, powders, pastes or decoctions.
    Dosage: 1 or 2 tablets twice a day.

 
  Juice
The juice may be taken from the fresh leaves, flowers or stems of the herb. The part of the herb used should be     crushed or ground in a mortar and pestle, to make a paste. This paste should be put in a piece of cloth and squeezed to take out the juice.
Dosage: One to two tablespoons twice a day.


 
 
      Infusion
    Herbs are soaked in water to make an infusion (ratio: 1 part herb to 8 parts water).     Hot infusions result from     adding herbs to hot water, or gently heating but not     boiling the mixture. This is strained and taken internally.     Herbal teas are forms of     hot infusions. Cold infusions are made from soaking the herb overnight. Honey can     be added.
    Dosage: half to one cup once or twice day

    

    
   

 

 

Decoction
A decoction is prepared by boiling the herb in water (ratio: 1 part herb to 16 parts water). The herbs are broken     into pieces and soaked in water overnight. This mixture is then boiled until it reduces to one quarter of the     original volume. It is then filtered and stored in a glass bottle.
Dosage: One to two tablespoons twice a day.


 
 

    Paste
    A paste can be made from either fresh or dried herbs. The flowers, roots, stems,     leaves or bark are ground and     mixed with water. Pastes are mainly used for     external application, in cases of cuts, burns and swellings. The     paste should be     thick enough to be applied in a layer to the skin.

 

 
     
 

Powder
Dried herbs are used for powders. The herbs are usually dried in a cool, shady and well-ventilated place,     although some herbs are dried in direct sunlight. The herbs are then ground into a fine powder and stored in a     dry, airtight bottle. The powder may be taken with water, or if specified, with milk or honey.
Dosage: Half to one teaspoon twice a day
