Preparation of Home Remedies in Ayurveda:
According to Ayurveda, home remedies are relatively prepared as the purpose is the same as other ayurvedic medicines. The main focus is to obtain the maximum therapeutic benefits while making it palatable.

Some common methods of preparing home remedies are:

• Juice
  The juice need to be obtained from the fresh leaves, flowers or stems of the herb. The part of the herb used should be crushed or ground in a mortar and pestle. One can put and squeezed the paste in a piece of cloth and extract the juice from the paste..
  Dosage : One to two tablespoons twice a day.
  
  
• Powder
  Dried herbs are used for powders. The herbs are usually dried in a cool, shady and well-ventilated place, although some herbs are dried in direct sunlight. The herbs are then transformed into a fine powder and stored in a dry, airtight bottle. The powder may be taken with water, or if specified, with milk or honey.
  Dosage : Half to one teaspoon twice a day
  
  
• Decoction
  A decoction is prepared by boiling the herb in water (ratio: 1 part herb to 16 parts water). The herbs are crunched to pieces and soaked in water overnight. This mixture is then boiled until its reduction is one quarter of the original volume. It is then filtered and stored in a glass bottle.
  Dosage : One to two tablespoons on twice a day basis.
  
  
• Infusion
  Herbs are soaked in water to make an infusion (ratio: 1 part herb to 8 parts water). Hot infusions result from adding herbs to hot water, or gently heating but not boiling the mixture. This is strained and taken internally. Herbal teas are forms of hot infusions. Cold infusions are made from soaking the herb overnight. Honey can be added.
  Dosage : half to one cup once or twice day.
  
  
• Paste
  A paste can be made from either fresh or dried herbs. The flowers, roots, stems, leaves or bark are ground and mixed with water. Pastes are mainly used for external application, in cases of cuts, burns and swellings. The paste should be thick enough to be applied in a layer to the skin.
  
  
• Tablets
  The herbs should be segregated, dried first and then mixed together in a powdery form. For fixed proportions, water or herbal juice can be added to this powder to make a paste, from which tablets of a specific size or weight are made. Tablets remain potent longer than juices, powders, pastes or decoctions.
  Dosage : 1 or 2 tablets on twice a day basis.
  
  
• Medicated ghee and oil
  Ghee is cooked with herbal juices, decoctions or pastes. The ghee should be heated with the herbal mixture at a moderate, controlled temperature. High temperatures can easily burn the ghee or oil, destroying its effectiveness. Medicated ghee and oils are either used internally or massaged externally.
  Dosage : Half to one tablespoon a day.
