Herbs For Quitting Smoking
The more scent to the herb, the shorter the steeping time need be. (Think of it that the stronger scented herbs have more volatile essential oil).
Black Cohosh - 1 teaspoon per cup of water, steeped in a tea. Note, the cohoshes are not one of your better tasting herbs, so you may prefer them in capsule form.
Blue Cohosh - 1 teaspoon per cup of water, steeped in a tea.
Catnip - Tea, use one teaspoon of the herb in a cup of water, drink when cooled.
Echinacea - available in capsules or as tea, steep 1 tsp of the root in a cup of boiling water for 30 minutes (covered).
Peppermint - in a tea 2 to 3 tsp leaves, to one cup boiling water.. let steep 10 minutes, covered... up to 3 times daily
Slippery Elm - in a tea, 1 tsp per cup of boiling water, steeped a minimum of 10 minutes.
Skullcap - traditionally a tea, available now as capsules at healthfood stores.
Hops - used in a tea... no beer does not count!
Valerian Root - 1 tsp powdered root infused in 1 pint water for 10 minutes in boiling water. Take no more than one cup a day, as too frequent use tends to cause headache, nervous agitation, vertigo...
