Covid has brought about a suttle fear among people across the world; resulting in being so much more cautious around cough and cold. Even today if anyone coughs around us, we become doubly sure of a safe distance and take precautions. We also try to avoid usage of medicines for cough and cold by and large. Some other precautions are having warm teas made from various herbs which could protect us or cure us.
Tea has been enjoyed for centuries, not only for its comforting taste but also for its numerous health benefits. When it comes to soothing our throat and promoting overall wellness, Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, offers a treasure trove of herbal teas.
Ginger Tea:
(Adrak in Hindi) Made from the roots of the ginger plant. It has a warming effect on the body and is known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Ginger tea benefits in soothing sore throats, reduce inflammation, and provide relief from coughing.
Licorice Root Tea:
(Mulethi in Hindi) Licorice root tea is made from the dried root of the licorice plant. It has a sweet taste and is known for its soothing properties. Licorice root tea can help reduce throat irritation and inflammation. It is also believed to have expectorant properties, which can help alleviate cough and congestion. Licorice can soothe a strep throat, until you see your doctor for further tests and treatments.
Turmeric tea:
(Haldi in Hindi) Turmeric is a member of the ginger family. Turmeric is a popular spice made from the root of the Curcuma longa plant. Active ingredient Curcumin is proven to have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. It may have several health benefits, such as boosting the immune system, protecting the liver, and helping manage arthritis.
