Herbal Processing

Herbal processing involves transforming raw herbs into usable forms for medicinal, therapeutic, or culinary applications. The process includes cleaning, drying, grinding, and sometimes extracting active compounds through methods like distillation, infusion, or cold pressing. After harvesting, herbs must be carefully dried to prevent mold and preserve their medicinal properties. Once dried, they can be processed into powders, tinctures, oils, or capsules, depending on the intended use. Standardized processing techniques ensure consistency in quality and potency. Herbal processing requires adherence to quality control measures to maintain the integrity of the active ingredients and ensure safety in final products.
