        Hello, all,

        I am wondering if someone could comment on storing my dried and/or powdered herbs in a freezer? I am hoping this will extend the shelf life of the active ingredients…if someone (Doc?) could please comment? (Stored in labeled glass canning jars)

        thanks!

          I’d guess it’d extend shelf life a bit but have no idea how much. Tinctures are a better approach to long-term storage.

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