Dosage and how to use
Infusion
To prepare an infusion of oak bark, use one tablespoon of oak bark, pour a glass of boiling water over it and leave it covered for about 10 minutes. Strain and drink 100 or 200ml a day.
Decoction
Which is applied topically to the skin and mucous membranes, is prepared in such a way that one tablespoon of oak bark is poured with one glass of water and boiled for about 5 minutes. Then it is set aside for a quarter of an hour, strained and then it is ready for use. Without medical consultation, it should not be used for more than a week, up to a maximum of 10 days.
Hair rinse
Two or three tablespoons of oak bark should be poured over half a liter of water, bring to a boil and cook for a few minutes. Then let it cool down, and after straining it is ready for use. It is best to use it right after washing your hair. This will prevent excessive greasy hair, but also make it shinier, better nourished and soft to the touch.
Disinfecting bath ( Sit-On bath)
To prepare the decoction needed for the disinfecting bath, pour 3-4 tablespoons of oak bark with two liters of cold water, bring to a boil, then cook, covered, 10 minutes and leave for 15 minutes. We make a disinfecting bath by immersing intimate parts in warm water for 10 minutes. After this time, gently dry the intimate area with a clean towel. The oak bark helps to maintain the correct pH of the mucosa and relieves pain, therefore its use is recommended for women after childbirth, with vaginal infections, urethritis, haemorrhoids, as well as mechanical damage to the epidermis and mucous membranes.
