This tea is a delicious traditional blend of soothing and balancing herbs.* A popular formulation without the use of Ma Huang (ephedra), this blend was traditionally used for temporary relief of a wide range of minor discomforts associated with the cold and flu season, including congestion, stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing, body- and head-aches, and stomach upsets.* For added benefits, use Triple Leaf Ginger Tea during the cold & flu season.
