However, if you are new to Chinese herbs, you may find their smell to be strong and the taste rather bitter sweet. We suggest that you become acquainted with them gradually. Empty the package of herbs into – quarts of water and simmer them for up to 30 minutes. A non-metal pot works best. If you have it use a ceramic coated or glass pot. The same herbs may be used again, the second cooking can be as long as 1 hour. Inhale the steam to get acquainted with the herbs. They may help clear congestion and feel relaxing. Allow the mixture to cool until it is comfortably warm. Drink up to a cup once or twice daily between meals.  Please consult your physician before using this product.
