The requirement of collecting is the knowledge of medicinal herbs. If we are in possession of these herbal plants all we have to do is to collect the blessed herbs in the right time, at the right place, and besides, according to the appropriate method.
Watching the experiences, we can get the best herbal curative power by collecting the newly-picked herb seeds and leaves as freshness is extremely important to reach the right effect in connection with heavy diseases. We can start collecting fresh herbal plants by ourselves early in the springtime, perhaps from the end of February till mid November. Moreover, some types of herbs can be found even under the shroud of snow, if we watched the ground earlier at that place (Chelidolonum majus).
Store some-but not too much-drying herbals, for wintertime. Collect them at the right moment to reach the best agents.
Flowers should be collected at the beginning of flowering, leaves can be picked up before and during blooming, and ripening period is the best for collectig harvests.
Keep in mind the followig advice: hoard only the healthy, clean, wormless herbs. The best time for collecting is a sunny day, after dew absorbing, when herbs are in dry state. You mustn’t get your herbs on a field or a meadow that are fertilised, neither you can get the herbal plants from the bank of contaminated rivers, from railway embankments, close to motorways or roads with heavy traffic, nor by industrial settlements.
Save the nature. (Do not deracinate plants, you are not to do mischief.) Some of the plants are protected, but there are others that can be as effective as them (cheliodolinum majus)
Do not push the leaves and flowers while collecting, don’t use plastic pouches or sacs- these can cause the sweating of herbal plants and later on, while drying herbs can turn into black.
