Drying is the easiest method of preserving medicinal plants. Simply expose the leaves, flowers or seeds to warm, dry air. Leave the medicinal plants in a well ventilated area until the moisture evaporates. Sun drying is not recommended because the medicinal plants can lose flavor and color.
The best time to harvest most herbs for drying is just before the flowers first open when they are in the bursting bud stage. Gather the medicinal plants in the early morning after the dew has evaporated to minimize wilting. Avoid bruising the leaves. They should not lie in the sun or unattended after harvesting. Rinse herbs in cool water and gently shake to remove excess moisture. Discard all bruised, soiled or imperfect leaves and stems.
Dehydrator drying is a fast and easy way to dry high quality medicinal plants because temperature and air circulation can be controlled. Pre-heat dehydrator with the thermostat set to 95°F to 115°F. In areas with higher humidity, temperatures as high as 125°F may be needed. After rinsing under cool, running water and shaking to remove excess moisture, place the herbs in a single layer on dehydrator trays. Drying times may vary from 1 to 4 hours. Check periodically. medicinal plants are dry when they crumble, and stems break when bent. Check your dehydrator instruction booklet for specific details.
