Rebecca’s Tips
Take 1–2 dropperfuls (1 mL/20 drops) up to 3 times daily as needed for respiratory support or cough relief. Use consistently during respiratory discomfort or as a nightly remedy to promote restful sleep when coughing disrupts rest. Pair with warm teas or honey for added soothing effects.
