"If you are suffering from cough and cold and related congestion, you can try Cedar Tea. This is an expectorant and efficiently removes cough and phlegm from the respiratory tract and lungs and thereby relieves congestion. It also gives relief in headache, red and watery eyes and other symptom of cough and cold. It helps having a good sleep when suffering from cough and cold."

CAUTION: If pregnant do not use. Do not overdo it either; it is a medicine and not a daily drink.

Enjoy! I always put some maple syrup in mine... if taken at the onset of a cold, it can knock it out overnight!
