Sore Throat Herbal Tea

Over the past few decades, we’ve seen a rise in bacteria capable of resisting our modern antibiotics. The result has been potentially dangerous and even deadly infections.

The overuse of antibiotics can contribute to resistant bacteria, so doctors now ask patients to think twice about asking for prescriptions. Sore throats, for example, are often caused by viral, not bacterial infections. That means antibiotics won’t help.

People often suggest tea to relieve symptoms of a cold or sore throat, but not all teas are alike. Some kinds of tea appear to help, but for different reasons. Some reduce inflammation, some may help strengthen your immune system and others simply numb your throat, making your symptoms less painful and unpleasant. This herbal tea treats just your sore scratchy throat.

Ingredients include: Licorice root, slippery elm bark, peppermint leaf and marshmallow root.

Instructions: Maus recommends to heat fresh water to a rolling boil, pour water over tea, steep for 5-7 minutes and enjoy.
