Note
1.
This tea is especially soothing for those recuperating from fever or acute cough. It settles irritability, strengthens the digestion (frequently weakens after strong medication) and detoxifies the system.
2.
Post-natal mothers can benefit from this tea due to the moistening effect. It nourishes the nutritive fluids (yin), prevents dryness, dissolves phlegm, settles the mind and regulates water (prevents edema).
