With a cold and bronchitis it is useful to drink in the form of tea for half a cup three times a day infusion of violets. For 1 cup of boiling water we take 1 tbsp. Dry grass and insist in a warm place until it cools.

If the grass is steamed in a thermos bottle, you can take twice as much water. The medicine will be ready in 2 hours. He will need to drink a little during the day.

Decoction from flowers: As a raw material we use dried flowers of a plant in an amount of 1 tbsp.

With an interval of 3 hours. The use of herbs in the form of decoction is indicated in bronchitis in adults and adolescents over 12 years.
