Mormon Tea Popotillo Cowboy Tea E. viridis Great Basin Organic Dried StemsE. viridis, known as Green Mormon Tea or Indian Tea is indigenous to the Western United States. It has been used as an antidepressant and decongestant whereby, a tea can be made by boiling the stems, whence the common name Mormon Tea.
E. Viridis was used medicinally by both Native Americans and the ancient Chinese to treat various afflictions. Native American tribes such as Shoshone and Paiute boiled tea using the stems of the plant. In modern medicine, the plant has been used to treat sinus illnesses such as hay fever, common cold, and sinusitis. The use is supported by clinical trials, as is its treatment of bronchial asthma. Because the plant has been used as a stimulant and appetite suppressant, it has also been used by some athletes to lose weight and build muscle. These organic, natural harvest E. viridis stems (plant material) are not intended to be sold as medicine or food - any such use is at one's own discretion.
