Yes, I have seen grandparents taken decoction.
The decoction is known as the method of extracting by boiling either the plant or herbal material to easily dissolve the chemicals that incorporate bark, roots, stems & rhizomes.

Decoction can be defined as the best and oldest method of extraction by boiling. It mainly used for the extraction of herbal or plant material by dissolving them into chemical.
Decoction is mainly used to separate the herbal from different parts of plants such as root, bark, stem, etc. It is different from concoction which is basically involves the digestion of food or substances. Decoction is very common to extract the herbal substances without dissociation from different parts of plants.
