Isatis Root in powder form can be used in several ways. The easiest and most common is making capsules, which is cost savings over pre-bottled herbs. ActiveHerb recommends using their granule form herbs as a tea. That means simply mixing it in hot water. Or if you prefer, you could mix it into your yogurt.

Works very well
I used this to treat an inner ear infection (otitis media) and it worked very well.
