Herbal preparations must be absorbed efficiently by the body. Sufficient evidence exists demonstrating that Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM) in a liquid form (fluid extracts, tea decoctions or infusions, syrups, tinctures) are more readily absorbed into the system than if they are dried for use in a solid-dosage form (capsules and tablets). A tea infusion allows the natural interactions between the various components in the herbs to occur. Water is an inexpensive, pure and readily available extraction solvent, is non-toxic and has a wide range of solvent actions. Most of the major compound groups occurring in plants are either soluble in boiling water or will release into the water in time, due to the interactions occurring during the water extraction process.

A tea also allows you to experience the "true taste of herbs". Taste is considered to be a vital component of herbal formulas, a component mostly absent in solid dosage form products with the exception of lozenges or pastilles. Certain tastes trigger specific physiological responses. For example, bitter tastes stimulate the taste buds, causing a secretion of saliva and gastric juices, stimulating digestion. If you cannot taste the bitter element, the digestive stimulation will not occur.
