External Wash

The simplest way to use herbs externally for the skin is to prepare an infusion or decoction (depending on the herb) as per the instructions above, and wash the affected area three times a day for 3-7 days.

You can also pour a litre of infusion or decoction into a bath full of hot water and soak in the mixture for a full-body effect.
