        I’ve been trying to get herbs into my family by putting them in cheese and soup and the like. I know the medicine in an infusion is only good for 2-3 days. However, if herbs are put into a food that is still edible for a week, would the herb’s medicinal qualities still be present that long as well? Or did they lose medicine at 2-3 days?

          Like teas, they’ll be quite good for 2-3 days and then start to lose potency dramatically.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
