Oh no! Your best friend has developed a really bad cough that won't go away. She wants you to recommend herbs for an infusion or tea blend, this illness seems to be affecting her cognitive ability so you need to explain to her why you choose these herbs and how to make the infusion or tea. She also wants you to suggest what she can do to stop the coughing at night when she is trying to sleep- again she is a little slow these days so explain to her in detail what you are recommending and why. *
