Tea is not only something to be consumed when you are sick, it should be enjoyed on a regular basis. When I was first introduced to Lu Chun Lingzhi Plus Tea, I was told it had the same effect as soap has when washing a dirty and oily drain. Basically if you wash a drain with plain water instead of adding soap your outcome will not be effective. Same thing is with our bodies, in order to get rid of toxins we need to consume an effective product which will assist in eliminating all the bad stuff out, which water alone is not able to do.

How to consume it

Brew 2-3 bags for 10 minutes, make sure you cover it as it brews. Drink throughout the day instead of water, you can keep adding hot water to the tea bags.

If you have a cough or fever, you can brew 5-6 bags in less water and consume the very ‘thick’ tea. It will help get rid of phlegm faster.

As you can see you can take small steps in changing your habits in order to be on the way to a better health. Consuming Lu Chun tea for a long term will give you many health benefits and you might even be able to loose weight. It is easy to consume and it tastes nice as well!
