In the last 8 months or so, if I wake up with even the slightest cold or flu symptom: scratchy
throat, sniffles, cough, I head to the kitchen and make a tea.
Two tea items: Pau D'Arco (I like Alvita's version) and a tea from Triple Leaf Tea called "Cold and Flu Time." Both of these steeped together in very hot water for 5 minutes or so and voila: ALL SYMPTOMS GONE. I haven't had any flu or cold take hold during that entire time (actually much longer) and these two teas have been great.
