For my Healing Spiral I am required to make at least one infusion, one decoction, one tincture and one salve. Here are the herbal medicines I've made and used on a regular basis to complete that requirement...
Infusions: red raspberry leaf, chamomile, peppermint, fennel seed, rose, feverfew
Decoctions: elderberries, ginger root, cinnamon bark
Salves: throat and chest balm with menthol, lip balms, arnica bruise balm
Tinctures: willow bark, hawthorn berry, dandelion, elderberry, feverfew
I have also made some capsule medicines with powdered cinnamon and ginko.
Picture, left to right: elderberry syrup from decoction, dried feverfew, chest and throat balm, red raspberry leaf, rose petals, hawthorn tincture, lavender buds, chamomile tea (infusion) and cinnamon capsules in the middle, along with one of my herbal healing books I used for this spiral.
