Description

The Manglier (Mong-lee-ay) plant is a native plant in South Louisiana. Tea is made from the Manglier plant, and it has been known to boost the immune system, treat cold, diabetes, flu, and fight viruses, infections, and cancer. It was used by native Americans and Creoles, and I can recall my grandmother preparing this tea to give to anyone in the family with a cold, flu, or pneumonia. We would definitely sweat out the fever at night, and would be better. When my grandmother made it, it had a very bad taste, but it worked. I combine it with other antiviral, antibacterial, or antifungal herbs to give a greater boost to the immune system, a better taste, while still providing the benefit of this hidden jewel.
