HOT TEAS THAT CAN HELP TREAT A COUGH

One of the best and simplest home remedies to treat a cough is to drink certain types of hot teas. So, which types of teas should you try?

1. Can honey tea treat a cough?

According to some research, honey may relieve coughs.

A study on treatments for nighttime coughing in children compared dark honey with the cough-suppressing medication dextromethorphan and with no treatment.

Although the benefits of honey over dextromethorphan were small, parents rated honey most favorably of all three interventions.

Remember not to give honey to children under 1 year of age. This is because of the risk of infant botulism, a severe form of food poisoning.

How to make Honey tea:

– You can make honey lemon tea by adding 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of boiled water.

– You can also use honey lemon syrup to make a delicious cup of honey lemon tea.

2. Drink Ginger tea to treat a cough

Not only is ginger a popular ingredient in many foods and drinks, but it has a wide variety of health benefits as well. It’s often used as a remedy for several different health conditions, including asthma, nausea, and arthritis.

A wealth of evidence has shown that ginger has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This may help to soothe an irritated throat and airways caused by coughing.

Another reason that ginger may be helpful for a cough is because it has components that can cause relaxation of airway muscles.

Consuming too much ginger may have side effects such as abdominal discomfort, heartburn, and diarrhea. It may also interact with blood-thinning medications.

How to make ginger tea:

– You can make ginger tea by adding fresh ginger or premade tea to a cup of boiled water. Peel and thinly slice 3 one-inch pieces of ginger, adding to 4 cups of boiling water. Boil for about 15 minutes, and strain before drinking.

– You can also use honey ginger syrup to make a cup of ginger tea very quickly.

3. Green tea is also a way to treat a cough

Green tea has long been consumed as a beverage. However, it’s also used for a wide variety of medicinal purposes, ranging from weight loss and headaches to improving alertness.

Green tea also may also be effective at inhibiting microbes. While studies are ongoing, antimicrobial activity, like that of green tea, may help stop the growth of some types of bacteria, viruses, or fungi.

Green tea is generally safe when consumed in moderate amounts. It does contain caffeine, which may make you feel jittery, or affect your sleep if it’s consumed close to bedtime.
