Dosing Ideas: |
|
|
|
Since we're trying to warm and relax the lungs with Lung Formula, it's nice to incorporate some steam and heat. |
|
|
|
We find that putting Lung Formula in a half cup of very warm water makes it nice to sip, and really warms us up inside. If you'd like it to be sweeter, stir in a little honey, for extra antibacterial support, or agave nectar, if you prefer it. Honey is not recommended for infants under twelve months old. |
