Cold and Flu Time Tea (no Ma Huang) - 20 bag

This comforting and delicious traditional Chinese herbal tea helps the body to naturally maintain balance, without the use of ephedra or ma huang. The herbs in this tea have a long history of traditional use to help support the healthy function of the respiratory system. Mulberry and imperata (cogongrass) were used to help support healthy nasal and sinus function and healthy breathing, and to help support healthy lung function. Honeysuckle, kudzu (pueraria), siler and Chinese mint were used to help support throat health. Honeysuckle, dandelion, lophatherum, uncaria and licorice root are considered cooling and were used to help promote normal detoxification. Ginger and Abrus fruticulosus were used to help support healthy stomach and digestive system function. Astragalus was used to help maintain the healthy function of the immune system and to help promote healthy resistance.

Traditional Chinese medicine began in approximately 2500 B.C. Recently, here in the West, people have discovered the value of this ancient system which focuses on aiding the body's own healing mechanisms through restoring harmony and balance. The Chinese system of herbology has been recorded in ancient texts which are studied and employed even today. This time tested knowledge has been passed on from generation to generation over the centuries

Triple Leaf Tea comes from such a tradition. It is made in the U.S.A. by a Chinese American family-owned business. The company owner can remember stories of his own grandfather selling herbs and teas in his village in China. Today, these traditional Chinese herbal formulas are available to you. We wish you harmony and balance!
