So I made a cup of tea and drank it just before I went to bed. That night I woke up feeling very hot. In the morning the fever had left and I never did get the rest of the symptoms that the others had gotten. I have tried this remedy several times since then, and usually it works but two times it apparently did nothing for me. It seems to work better on respiratory system flues better than on digestive system flues.
Some people think the resin has an unpleasant medicine odor.
