FAQs

Quick questions

Is Wind-Cold Tea for every early cold?

No. This cup is cooling. It often fits early signs with light yellow phlegm or a mild sore throat. Strong chills with clear watery phlegm usually want a warming kitchen brew instead.

How is this different from mulberry chrysanthemum tea for wind-heat cough?

This pot is mulberry leaf, yellow chrysanthemum, and licorice only, sipped for two to three days. The wind-heat cough tea adds burdock seed and peppermint and is framed for thick yellow phlegm. Use the steep that matches the signs in front of you.

Can I drink this every day?

Educational use is a short two-to-three-day run when early signs are present, not a standing daily habit. Stop once the picture settles, or if the cup leaves you colder or more bloated.
