Notes

Holy moly? In Greek legend, Ulysses protected himself from Circe using a moly herb. Some consider 'moly' to be mullein, however this doesn't quite fit Homer's description of moly, having white flower and black root.

Before taken as a tea, filter out the fine hairs which can cause irritations.
