I have great faith in herbal teas for vocal health; even if the herbs don't
do what some people think they do, the hot water/honey/lemon is wonderful
for the voice. Also, some herbs really are medicinal, like echinacea (which
is good for the immune system) and licorice, which is especially healing to
the throat tissues.

If this "Hermes Bronchial Tea" contains licorice, then no wonder it is
helpful (and delicious -- unlike some other healthful herbs (such as
valerian, which tastes like mildew unless you add tons of honey), licorice
actually has a delicious flavor of its own.
