Both the flower and root of Primrose are used medicinally, and have a variety of uses in folk medicine. The flower serves as a remedy for headache, nerve pain, and tremors, and is used as a "heart tonic" for sensations of dizziness and cardiac insufficiency. Primrose root is taken for whooping cough, asthma, gout, and nerve pain. In homeopathic medicine, Primrose is prescribed for skin conditions.
The German Commission E Monographs, the bible of clinically-established herbal information, concluded that primrose flower is an effective treatment for catarrhs of the respiratory tract. They also confirm its widely touted ability as a secretolytic and expectorant.

Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 tea bag for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
