Infusion was the most dominant preparation followed by
decocts. Most of the remedies are prepared using a single plants
or occasionally mixture of plants, for example, Tagetes lucida (pericón) with Syzygium aromaticum (clavo) or Quercus elliptica (encino)
with Persea americana (aguacate). Hot water is recommended by
the healers to prepare the remedies. In some cases, the part of the
plant was chewed, as a mouthwash or used to fill the cavities, for
example, Syzygium aromaticum (Argueta et al., 1994)
