Do not wash the herbs before drying, indeed, we have to chop them. Spread out the substrate on a tucker or on a clean piece of paper, this way herbal plants can dry easily into the shadow or at a breezy, warm place (eg. on the attic).

Roots are adviced to be chopped up after cleaning properly, and before drying- so as mistletoes and willow-herbs.

Conserve only herbal plants for winter that are completely dry. The best thing for storing herbal cures are jars or cardboard boxes. Avoid plastic vessels.

Protect drying herbs from the direct light, (green, coloured bottles are the best for that).
Think only for one winter, herbal plants can lose their curative power after a while.
