What is the Best Tea for a Sore Throat?

Do you have a sore throat? There are several tea options you can choose from that should help.

Herbal tea-- Herbal teas can help your sore throat in a few different ways. Some herbal teas have some sort of mucilage that will coat the mucus and shorten the healing process and have anti-inflammatory properties. They can also give you immune system a boost. Eucalyptus and peppermint tea are great for this. If you consume peppermint tea, you will consume menthol, which is great for decongesting nasal passages.

Traditional tea- Teas that are from the Camellia Sinensis plant, such as black tea, green tea, white tea, oolong tea, and pu-erh tea, are great at helping with sore throats. Some tea manufacturers blend these together and get creations like Irish Breakfast or Earl Grey tea. If you have these teas, you can add in some cinnamon bark, ginger root (peeled and sliced), and some honey or lemon; this will create a wonderful tasting tea with great nutrients that will help ease the soreness.

Fusion tea- Teas can be infused with sweeteners (natural) for added nutrients and health benefits. Honey and citrus are often the things that get infused into the tea. Honey is great for reducing inflammation and citrus (such as lemons or oranges) are great for vitamin C.

Of course, remember to take your medication when you are sick.
