The changing season brings with it a host of challenges especially, for the lungs and respiratory system.
You may have noticed as the weather dips down, more people begin complaining of flu, colds, cough, and runny nose.
Like most folks, you may not be prepared for the onslaught of common bugs that can enter your body through the respiratory system… but if you have some herbal culinary savvy, you need not worry.
If you don’t catch the bugs at the onset (in the nose or in the throat), and your immune system has been slow to respond, they are going to move into your chest.
This Thyme with Lemon and Honey Tea, can help resolve your cough! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 tbsp. fresh thyme (or 2 tsp. dried thyme)
- water
- 1 tsp. local honey
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
Put thyme into a tea ball and place into a large mug. Add 8-10 oz boiling water and steep, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove tea ball and stir in honey and lemon juice. Drink 2-3 times per day to help resolve a cough.
