I suggest that you ask at a book shop for a reputable book on the subject. Some herbs are boiled or steeped in boiling water to make a drink, some are dried and crushed to powder before being used, it varies with each herb.
AnswerThere are many ways that herbal medicines are made from plants. You can make a tea (infusion), where the herb is steeped in hot water. A decoction is when the plant material is boiled in water. A tincture is an alcohol extract, which, like teas or decoctions, can be made at home. Poultices, creams, salves, oils, vinegars (acid extract), and glyceracts (glycerin extract) can also be made at home. There's also juices, baths, pills, lozenges, syrups, and capsules.Herb and supplement companies also use percolation, alcohol extracts (where the ratio is stronger than tincture. I.e. 1:1 or 1:2), supercritical extracts, and more.
Part of the beauty of herbal medicine is it's flexibility and adaptability in many instances.
A good book to start would be The Complete Illustrated Holistic Herbal by David Hoffmann.
