How should this herbal blend be brewed and drunk? — Chest herbal tea, 50 g – Lekraset

According to the instructions, 1 tablespoon of the blend is placed in an enamel container, 200 ml of hot boiled water is poured over it, and it is heated in a water bath under a lid for 15 minutes, stirring from time to time. The infusion is then cooled and strained, the plant material is squeezed out, and the volume is topped up with boiled water to 200 ml.

The infusion is usually drunk warm — this is how it is most often chosen instead of an ordinary hot drink in the cooler months. It is best prepared in small portions and not left to stand for long, so that the taste stays fresh. The peppermint in the formula softens the taste, so additions are generally not needed. Drink the infusion 1/2 glass 2–3 times a day 30 minutes before meals.

It is important to understand that this kind of herbal tea is an addition to your usual diet and self-care, not a substitute for a balanced diet or for consulting a specialist. If symptoms are severe or persist for a long time, it is sensible to discuss using the blend with a specialist in advance.
