Healing Suggestions
Tea is a great way to help prevent and heal a great number of respiratory illnesses and here are some additional suggestions that may help you improve your health much faster as you drink you cup of tea.
-
The best recommendation anyone can give you is to prevent a cold and to prevent contagion to your family or friends when you do get sick, so make sure to wash your hands thoroughly when you or someone close to you has a cold.
-
A fever or a nasty cold can take its toll on your body. One of the symptoms you may start to experience is pain all over your body and suddenly feeling very cold. Drink a hot cup of tea to warm you up and then get into bed, you need to stay warm and get lots of rest.
-
Drink plenty of liquids when you are feverish. Sweating is the way your body has of naturally lowering your temperature, so it is easy to become dehydrated. Choose a tea that will help soothe your throat at the same time and clear your lungs as well.
-
Add honey to your tea. As a sweetener, it is much healthier than sugar: it will help to heal your throat and make it a lot easier for your children to drink a cup of tea if they are not used to it.

Stock up on great healing teas, because a cup of tea a day may just help prevent a cold or the flu and at the same time a single cup of tea may bring great comfort and relief when you feel miserable from so much sneezing and coughing.
