Herbal supplements have been used for centuries to support wellness, and making your own herbal capsules at home allows you to personalise your supplements to suit your needs. Whether you’re crafting a unique blend of herbs or sticking to one type, this guide will walk you through how to easily make your own herbal capsules using a Capsule Machine and herbal powders.
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Herbal Capsules:
-
Prepare Your Capsule Machine:
First, place the Capsule Machine base on its stand to stabilize it. Then, take your empty vegan capsules and separate them into two parts: the longer half (the base) and the shorter half (the top). Insert the longer part of each capsule into the machine’s base, and set the shorter part aside in the top compartment of the machine. -
Fill the Base with Powder:
Place the base of the Capsule Machine on a shallow bowl or plate to catch any excess powder. Next, pour your herbal powder over the base, ensuring all the capsule holes are filled. Use the spreader card that comes with the Capsule Machine to evenly spread the powder across the capsule openings. Any excess powder will fall onto the bowl or plate below. -
Compact the Powder:
Once your capsules are filled, you can use the tamping tool to compact the powder inside. If desired, you can add more powder to ensure each capsule is fully filled. After compacting, pour in additional powder, spread it evenly again using the spreader card, and scrape off the excess into the bowl or plate. -
Join the Capsules
Now it’s time to assemble the capsules. Carefully place the top part of the Capsule Machine onto the base, ensuring the shorter capsule halves are aligned with the filled longer halves. Remove the Capsule Machine from its stand and set it on a flat surface. Press down firmly until you feel the machine bottom out—this means the capsules are sealed and joined together. -
Eject the Capsules
Your capsules are now complete and automatically held in the top part of the machine. To remove them, press the top evenly and firmly to eject the capsules. They should pop out and fall into your bowl or plate, ready to be stored and used.
