Some forms of tea have very good vapors that are good to breath in and can help break up congestion in your head and chest, others have the soothing effect on a sore throat.
There are lots of different kinds to choose from. A quick trip to the grocery store should set you up with a good all rounder.
I like a cup of green tea with lemon and lots of honey. It always makes me feel better!
If you have a chest cold and are in the habit of keeping fresh herbs in the house, here's another way to help you feel better.
Take some fresh Sage and Rosemary and simmer in a saucepan on low heat. It will produce a nice steam that will help with a chest cold. Kind of like a natural humidifier.
One last thing. Make sure that you drink lots of water. A lot of people forget and suffer for it.
Tea has tons of antioxidants that boost the immune system.
It might relieve a little congestion.
NO CAFFEEN tea is very good for you.. if you have a sore throat drink tea with ginger or tea with honey dont drink coffee... if you have a raw throat garggle salt water
tea is good with honey and lemon if you like lemon. coffee is OK but what is even better is chicken soup.
if you have a sore throat, hot tea with honey will sooth your throat... truth is, a good hot totty is what you need if you are sick... which doesn't have tea or coffee in it...
Will help what?
A cold is a virus, coffee has no effect on a virus.
You can drink it because it makes you feel better but their is no medical reason too drink it. Its kinda like chicken soup. It really does nothing but makes you feel better and think of moms love.
green tea is best,and at bedtime and some rum and Honey .
tea will help if you add some whole black pepper and ginger (dry ginger is better if you can get your hands on some of those) in it while boiling (and let it boil with the pepper and ginger for 2-3 mins). now strain the tea and add some sugar if you must, and drink it and you'll feel a lot better.
Tea. Drink it hot though.
yes, there are some great teas by traditional medicinals that are formulated for colds and flu they do work, too!
Hot tea...not black tea, but NO to coffee.
Yes, Rosemary infused tea is used for colds. It is also an antibiotic and anti-fungal. Cover 1/2 cup of the leaf with boiling water, steep 5-10 minutes. Use three times daily.
my dad has tea with honey and lemon when he has a cold seams to work.
As most people here have said, Tea helps to sooth. Makes sure it's something with Lemon and honey in it as well.
Drinking lots of hot liquids, especially tea with honey and lemon juice, hot chicken soup sure help relieve your cold.
Get well soon.
Tea-Lipton or Herbal tea, 7UP-where ever you find it., OJ
When I was not feeling good I actually up-chucked the herbal tea.
Chicken Broth, or chick soups hot drinks clear the congestion
Popsicles soothe sore throats.
hope it helps you! :D
you might not have a common cold it might be a virus.
Tea with lemon is the best remedy. Forget the cough medicine, forget antibiotics. Fluids and rest... fluids and rest, that's all you need.
Coffee is not so good because caffeine weakens your immune system. Tea also has caffeine, but it also has a lot of good things as well. Coffee, no good.
Hope you get better.
