Eucalyptus tea
Eucalyptus tea can soothe topical cold & flu symptoms by supporting your immune system, making it a good option if you are under the weather.
The leaves of the Eucalyptus tree, native to Australia, have been used to make tea for centuries. Tea, oils & balms made from the eucalyptus plant are well known for their ability to soothe cold-related ailments such as sore throats, blocked sinuses, chapped skin, flu & fevers.
Eucalyptus oil is a common ingredient in vapour rub type balms as well as lip & skin balms because it is said to help to clear phlegm & mucus associated with colds, soothe chapped skin (from all that nose blowing!) and even has anti-bacterial properties.
Echinacea tea
Echinacea is another ‘under the weather’ tea used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries to support your immune system, especially if you are suffering from colds or flu.
A warm drink can always help soothe a sore throat but echinacea is said to be particularly effective at reducing swollen glands and inflamed throats.
Drinking echinacea tea is said to help speed up recovery once a cold has hit and also help build up immunity and resistance if drunk regularly throughout the winter months!
