You peruse the instructions and begin to understand how preparing herbs works.  It would appear that each herb has a different method of preparation depending on the types of wounds it is capable of healing.  Studying the remedy instruction book is not required at any time during the process of preparing herbs.
The book continues explaining how external-wound healing plants and herbs tend to require drying.  This is accomplished with the use of a Wayerd pyramid, patience and a sunny day.  Just put the herbs into the pyramid, close it, set it down and wait up to an anlas for them to dry.
Continuing further you read about how herbs that are better suited for healing internal wounds tend to require being crushed to a pulp using a mortar and pestle.  Simply place the herb in the mortar and begin to crush it repeatedly with the pestle until it is a pulp.  No water or any other ingredients are required for this step.
Finally, the page explains that for some herbs other methods of preparation are required.  These may include freezing with an unlochai bucket or burning in a brazier.  These herbs are usually not mainstream and reserved for special recipes.
