Traditional Uses & Preparation Methods:
Lespedeza can be prepared in several ways:
- Water-Alcohol Extract: Steep 20-30g of herb in 1 liter of boiling water, simmer for 25 minutes, cool, then add alcohol (vodka or similar) to achieve 15-18% alcohol content. Leave the herb in the mixture. Take 30-50ml per dose. Use externally as compresses or diluted for mucous membranes (10% alcohol) and skin (20% alcohol).
- Decoctions/Teas: A simple and palatable tea can be prepared by simmering 1-2 tablespoons of herb in 1 liter of water for 10-15 minutes, then steeping for 2 hours. Strain and consume 1/2 to 1 cup three times daily. This is a great preventative measure for kidney and herpes-related issues.
- Alcohol Tincture (Kidney Support): Combine 1 part dried, powdered herb with 10 parts vodka (1:10 ratio). Steep in a dark place for 7-10 days, shaking occasionally. Strain and take 20-30 drops diluted in 50ml of water three times daily, 30 minutes before meals. A one-month course is recommended for kidney issues.
- Alcohol Tincture (Skin Conditions): Steep 100g of herb in 1 cup of vodka or 70% alcohol for 10 days in a dark, cool place. Take 1 teaspoon diluted in a small amount of warm water twice daily before meals.
