Customer's question
My throat is scratchy and I am coughing; my doctor says it is an ordinary cold. What can I drink?
With an ordinary cold, time is the main remedy, and a warm drink is what really eases it, the fluid and the steam more than any ingredient.
For trouble with the airways and a sore throat, marshmallow, plantain and wild thyme are traditionally used. Here they are in Chest Tea, and the blend Nosopret has a soothing effect on the throat, the pharynx and the mouth.
You can also use the tea to gargle once it is lukewarm.
If a fever lasts more than three days, you struggle to breathe or the cough does not ease after two weeks, call your doctor.
