| Granted, knowing the properties of the herbs is probably the most important
thing one can know when practicing herbalism. However a close second must
be what the most affective method of delivery to the body is. Knowing whether
to treat something internally or externally and the best method of delivery
is vital to proper treatment. The key to this, in many cases, is proper
preparation of the herbs. The herbalist may have the perfect treatment, but
if prepared incorrectly or delivered improperly, at best the treatment could
be ruined. At worst, more harm could be done than good!
