FAQs about Chukku Malli Kashayam:

1. How often can I consume this in a month? Upto once or twice a week is completely fine?
2. Can I freeze this for further use? All herbal teas are to be consumed immediately. One can make a largish pot of this to consume within a few hours. Beyond that, it loses its potency, even if re-heated during the day 
3. I don’t have access to fresh oregano and dry ginger powder . Can I still make this tea? The nearest alternatives to fresh oregano is dried oregano, also add 3-4 tablespoon of fresh mint leaves. In place of dry ginger powder, one can use fresh ginger (crushed), but a limited quantity 
4. Can this be consumed cold? All herbal teas are recommended to be had hot or warm.
