In any herbalist's shop you can easily find the leaves and flowers of the most common herbs. You can mix the ones that suit you best at any time. Remember that you can use either dried or fresh chopped leaves. If you use more dried herbs, pour only a small spoonful into each cup. For fresh herbs, it is best to use two small spoons per cup. This way you will maintain the flavor and benefit from the properties you are looking for.
Consult a specialist about the quantities you can take per day. Not all plants are the same, contain the same substances, or work in the same way. For example, it is OK to take six cups of chamomile a day, but other herbs, if taken in these quantities, can lead to intoxication.
