Monarda didyma flower tea has a scent similar to bergamot and has been used for medicinal purposes. Monarda can help with a bunch of issues like indigestion, cramps, nausea, gas, fevers, the flu, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, sore throats, chronic Candida infections, urinary tract infections, as a nerve tonic, PMS, and just to help you relax.
 
To help with lung congestion, it’s best to drink Monarda tea hot, and you can also inhale it as steam. For sore throats, you can use it as a gargle. Its spicy kick can ease pain, and a strong brew can help fight off the bacteria causing the discomfort.
