Winter is known as the season of sniffling noses and sore throats. But don’t worry—with the powerful help of herbal infusions, you might actually be able to get through the current winter with a minimum of sneezing and a maximum of coziness. Here are four particularly recommended infusions that not only taste great but also promise to keep you in tip-top shape.
Chamomile
Let’s start with a classic. Produced from lovely, dried white flowers, Chamomile is your go-to for dry leaf infusions. An herbal wonder, it’s your trusty sidekick in combating winter woes. From colds and sniffles to gum inflammation and stomach discomfort, chamomile is the hero we all need.
Lemon Verbena
Lemon Verbena, also referred to as ‘Louisa,’ loves its water and warmth. Perfect for soothing sore throats as well as battling gas and bloating, it packs viral-fighting benefits that you wouldn’t want to miss out on. Is it the perfect winter wingman or what?
Lemon Balm
Adding a delicate lemony flavor to your cup of tea, Lemon Balm (or Melissa) is more than just a flavor enhancer. The oils released from it aid memory improvement and its polyphenols are great against cold sores. Other than that, it’s also extremely helpful in relieving stress and promoting good sleep, so a cup of Melissa tea during a stormy night might be the chill pill you were wishing for.
Mint
Ending with another classic, mint infusion is the ultimate cleanse for your body, aiding digestion and making life easier on your stomach. It also relieves a clogged nose and headaches and can even help with skin problems. So, when winter plays tricks on you, mint is your guy.
