It is usual for a herbal medicine to contain several different herbs. Herbalists may prescribe a tea, which is a mixture of carefully chosen herbs to combine the necessary actions for a patient's health. For example, a tea for cystitis may contain antiseptic herbs, a diuretic to encourage flushing of the kidneys, an antihaemorrhagic herb to stop any bleeding from weakened urinary tubules or bladder tissue, and mucilaginous herbs to soothe the inflamed tissues in the bladder or urethra.
Liquid medicines, usually as tinctures, are the most common form of medicine prescribed by herbalists. They are easy to take, but more important, they allow anywhere from three to ten, or more, herbs to be combined. Both the choice of herbs and the amounts of each can be controlled accurately. Care must be taken because some herbal extracts must be kept apart because they can interact chemically and the medicinal effect can be reduced or lost.
