What is Soapnut Decoction?
In herbalism, decoctions are usually made to extract fluids from hard plant materials such as roots, berries and bark. To achieve this, the plant material is usually boiled for 8-10 minutes in water. It is then sifted. To make Soapnut decoction, you need 8-10 shells and then boil in water for 5-6 minutes. If you want high concentration of saponine, add more soapnut shells.
