Hmm. The mate plant (yerba mate) is supposed to be related to holly, and
many people swear up and down it's incredibly good for you. It's been too
long since I had any decent yerba mate, but it seemed to produce a good
feeling when I used to drink it a lot. It might be nice to sip when one
has a cold.
