Does this qualify as traditional medicine? I noticed it was stamped OTC. Does that mean "over the counter" just like in the US? Or does it have another meaning.

My gal thought I was getting sick because I coughed a bit and was clearing my throat. She walked into a little shop in Emei and got it from a gal wearing a white lab coat.

I don't know if it worked, but it a sweet, warm drink.

DESTRUCKDOZ, it is not a tea. Just as Griz said, it is used to cure cold. Inside the bag is the powder made from some herbs.

Griz, you are correct. OTC means 'over the counter'. In Chinese, we say 非处方类药物。

I guess so...but I think it is an herbal rather than chemical remedy.
