• 5 Are there any side effects or precautions? +
  Due to the wide variety of herbs, some precautions are necessary:
  
  Mulethi (Licorice): Long-term or excessive consumption of licorice can affect blood pressure and potassium levels. If you have high blood pressure, consult a doctor before using this tea regularly.
  
  
  Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The tea contains several potent herbs. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without a healthcare professional's guidance.

• 6 Is this tea a substitute for medicine or quitting smoking? +
  Absolutely not. There is no scientific evidence that a tea can "detox" the lungs or reverse the damage from smoking. The best and only medically proven way to "clean" your lungs is to quit smoking permanently. This tea can be a part of a healthy lifestyle that supports your recovery, but it is not a cure or a primary treatment. If you are struggling to quit, seek help from a doctor or a smoking cessation program.
