Natural Remedy Tea for Cough, Phlegm, Flu, and Sinusitis
This simple recipe uses only natural ingredients. Just 3 tablespoons a day can help loosen phlegm from the lungs, soothe a cough, ease flu symptoms, and support the treatment of sinusitis.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized onion (rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds)
- 1 piece of fresh ginger (about 2 inches) (natural decongestant and anti-inflammatory)
- 2 tablespoons of raw honey (natural antibacterial and soothes the throat)
- 1 lemon (boosts immunity and loosens mucus)
- 2 cups of water
- Optional: 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder (for extra anti-inflammatory benefits)
Instructions:
- Prepare the ingredients:
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Peel and slice the ginger thinly.
- Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice. Keep the lemon peel for boiling (it has extra oils and benefits).
- Boil:
- In a pot, add the water, chopped onion, sliced ginger, and the squeezed lemon halves (not the juice yet).
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 15–20 minutes.
- Strain and add extras:
- After simmering, strain the tea into a clean container.
- When the tea cools down a bit (warm, not hot), stir in the lemon juice and raw honey.
(Do not add honey when the tea is too hot, to preserve its natural healing properties.)
- Optional:
- Add a teaspoon of cinnamon powder if desired for extra warmth and health benefits.
How to Use:
- Take 1 tablespoon of this tea three times a day — morning, afternoon, and evening.
- You can also sip it warm like a regular tea if you like.
- For best results, continue for 5–7 days or until symptoms improve.
Health Benefits:
- Loosens and expels phlegm from the lungs
- Soothes cough and throat irritation
- Strengthens the immune system
- Relieves sinus congestion and pressure
- Reduces inflammation naturally
- Supports faster recovery from colds and flu
