Great tincture to use for overall health. I used it for a lingering sinus issue and it help to clear it. I like to use the liquid form more then granules. The plus was no alcohol taste that can be a little much.

Product really helped!
Product really helped stop my years long coughing fits! I had been coughing for about 2 years due to allergies and taking allergy shots and was still coughing! After a week on the tincture I noticed a big decrease in the coughing! Highly recommend giving it a try for coughing or mild upper respiratory issues!!
