Storing Tree Medicine

Light, heat and moisture will all deteriorate the medicinal qualities of Tree Medicines. Store in tightly closed glass jars away from direct sunlight or heat and ideally in a dark cupboard. Earthenware or metal containers with tight fitting lids are also suited. For example: Store different leaves in brown paper bags in biscuit tins with tight fitting lids.
Plastic absorbs oils from plant material, so plastic bags or plastic containers are best avoided.
