how to prepare herbs?

I bought a bunch of herbs in the bulk section of my local food co-op. While some of the herbs are in powder and leaf form, others are in hard seed form. In order to get maximum results from these herbs, do I need to crush the seeds? I was going to put everything in my food processor so it all mixes, but I am afraid it won't split the seeds.

Also, is a tea as potent as a pill?

Thanks so much for you help! I'll be posting pics as soon as I see some results! I'm also waiting for PM pills and cream to arrive. I ordered them within 5 minutes of seeing Shell's picture!

Definitely crush or grind the seeds. Your body will not digest them.

I don't have any facts on tea vs. pills, but in my experience I always grew better when taking teas in addition to pills. Some herbs, kava kava for instance, are much better when taken as a tea. The only reason I noticed is because kava affects how you feel (talkative and happy).
