I heard that hot steaming water helps with your coughing and i was wondering if tea has the same effect?

ok thanks its cold season and i been getting alot of coughs so thanks alot.

Yes. Tea has generally helped me for a little while at least. Of course, it isn't a cure, as much as it is a "helper."

My personal cure for colds is a mixture of one part orange juice and one part vodka. The OJ has vitamin C. The vodka heps me forget that vitamin C doesn't help at that stage.

doesn't the alcohol kill the vit c anyway?

I know ginger tea has a very beneficial effect On your upper respiratory tract. Also it’s great at preventing colds and flu in the first place.

Yes, definitely. In fact, I may petition the idea that tea can cure anything. :-) In all seriousness though, tea contains beneficial antioxidants that help sustain and reinforce the immune system, thus shortening the duration of illness. Also, any kind of warm beverage may act as an expectorant for a cough. If you sweeten your tea with honey, that is an added benefit, because before there was cough syrup, people used honey, and it works very well.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful replys and tips the coughs this year was not as bad as other years. I Also have another question are their any teas that help you relax and fall asleep when your mind is full of thoughts about the day? I drunked this one tea called zen tea and i fell asleep right away.
