About the herb
What bean is
the pod of bean (Phaseoli pericarpium)
The bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a well known garden vegetable of which herbalism uses not the seed we eat, but the pericarp, that is the empty pod without the beans.
The pods are collected when dry beans are shelled, in autumn, when they are completely dry and crumble; the beans are picked out, and the empty pods are broken up and dried the rest of the way at a low temperature. Only sound, unspoilt pods free of mould are gathered.
Raw beans contain substances that are destroyed only by cooking, and do not belong in an infusion; the pod alone is used. In Ašič's collection the bean pod appears in the PutiSIT blend.
Use and evidence

Safety and precautions
