To prepare a liter of broth, 50-60 grams of chopped and dried herbs will be required, which must be poured with boiling water and infused for 3 hours. Filter. Store in the refrigerator for no more than three days.
• Drink tinctures, extracts and eat blueberry jam and just fresh berries. You can also drink decoctions from it.
