Product description
Licorice tea is a popular herbal treatment for symptoms of the common cold and flu. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, many people use licorice tea to relieve a sore throat. While there are many anecdotal stories about licorice tea being an effective treatment for coughs and colds, there is actually little scientific evidence demonstrating the efficacy of licorice in cold relief. Children with body weights above 50 pounds can drink 1/3 a cup of licorice tea three times a day for sore throat treatment. Licorice tea should never be given to children who weigh less than 50 pounds or to infants.
