Tea Made from Ginger and Turmeric May Help Alleviate Cold Symptoms, According to Doctor

A doctor has stated that a tea made from two spices can assist in alleviating symptoms of the common cold. This comes as people often turn to remedies to find relief during the cold season.

On average, adults experience two to three colds each year. Children can be affected even more frequently due to their developing immune systems. The doctor highlighted that certain spices, when combined in a tea, might help "flush" colds from the body, potentially easing discomfort and promoting recovery.

The recommended tea involves mixing specific spices known for their beneficial properties. Some common spices used include ginger and turmeric, both praised for their anti-inflammatory qualities. Adding these spices to hot water creates a warming drink that may help soothe throat irritation and support overall health.

Experts suggest staying hydrated and consuming nutritious foods alongside tea for best results. While the tea may offer some relief, it is always wise to consult a healthcare professional for persistent symptoms or concerns.
