The active substances enclosed in the root of comfrey and vitamins hips destroyed by boiling.

Preparation of broth.

Four tablespoons mixture each spoon uppers, poured into poltoralitrovuyu dishes (preferably clay, rather than the metal - it is important to avoid reaction with the metal) is poured liter of raw water, stirred, covered with a lid and allowed to stand overnight at room temperature to potion gets wet.
