In a classroom investigau;jxvn**pxp w o:(jyk 0-.n mjtion into the effectqd)yl x0wui89-8h vwoz56liqs of herbal remedies on bacterial infections, students selected a range of herbal teas, marketed as possessing “Immune System Boosting” properties. Teas each contained one main inuzqlilx 6 h0vw9)85ow 8qdyi-gredient, in addition to other secondary ingredients, present in lower concentrations.
A concentrated solution of each tea was prepared and a 0.2 g mass of cotton wool was soaked in each.
