With Warm Water or Buttermilk:
Mix 1–2 grams of powder in warm water or buttermilk. Drink on an empty stomach in the morning or before meals to support liver and urinary health.

Usable Plant Parts: Harvest the aerial parts, including leaves, stems, and flowers.
Harvesting Method: Use clean, sharp shears to cut the plant. Avoid collecting from areas exposed to chemical pesticides.
Drying Process: Shade-dry the harvested parts in a well-ventilated area to preserve active compounds like wedelolactone.
Storage: Once thoroughly dried, grind into a fine powder and store in an airtight container, kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
