one on our list that i should mention is green tea green tea is a beverage that has been around for
centuries it's believed to have positive effects on the entire body including your metabolism and
immune system one study specifically looked at how drinking green tea may benefit people with
copd which is a chronic condition that affects the ability of the lungs to exchange oxygen and

reduce the risk of developing copd green tea is made from unoxidized leaves which helps preserve
the polyphenols that provide anti-inflammatory benefits it also contains flavonoids catechins
and antioxidants that fight inflammation and help destroy free radicals which can reduce the risk
of chronic diseases such as cancer turmeric tea is another one that we need to discuss
turmeric is the bright yellow spice that is often found in indian cuisine it wasn't
until recently that medical experts discovered its positive health benefits turmeric contains
antioxidants that work to prevent fatty deposits from developing in the arteries it
also contains anti-inflammatory properties which help prevent the arteries from hardening over time

take advantage of these amazing benefits is take a glass of warm water and mix it with one tablespoon
each of fresh lemon juice and honey ginger tea is another one that offers some amazing benefits
the roots of a ginger plant are widely used for food and natural medicinal purposes around
the world ginger has a strong odor that is useful in clearing the nasal airways

to stress it also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help relax the airways in the lungs and

small concentrated dose of ginger juice that makes it quick and easy to take in your dose for the day
next up on our list is elderberry tea elderberry has become widely popular over recent years
and is known for its antimicrobial antibacterial and anti-fungal properties
this makes it great for boosting the immune system and treating colds infections and certain viruses

interesting to you just do a quick search online and you can easily find a recipe to fit your needs
there are plenty of tasty and nutritious recipes to choose from and i couldn't have
made this video without mentioning eucalyptus tea the eucalyptus tree originated in australia
and has been a source of food for wildlife for centuries it wasn't until later on that humans
discovered its positive health benefits eucalyptus has been used for the treatment of colds sinus
congestion fever and other respiratory elements cineole is an active ingredient in eucalyptus
that works as unexpected which means that it can ease a cough and aid in the removal of secretions
researchers believe that its properties react with the mucous membranes of the lungs
which can help loosen up secretions so that they can be coughed up more easily not to mention
eucalyptus is believed to provide antioxidant and antimicrobial effects that can provide a
boost to your immune system as well peppermint tea is another type that we should mention
the leaves of a peppermint tree are believed to have analgesic antiseptic and antimicrobial
properties that offer an array of benefits when it comes to improving your breathing
menthol is an active ingredient that provides a cooling sensation
that can give you some relief for a sore throat one study found that it also promotes relaxation
in the muscles of the airways within the lungs which causes them to open up so that they can
take in more oxygen this explains why peppermint properties have traditionally been used as one of
the ingredients in chest rubs which helps provide relief for congestion this soothing and refreshing
tea is easy to brew by infusing peppermint leaves in hot water next up on our list is mullen tea
mullet is a nerve that has traditionally been used for the treatment of respiratory elements
thanks to its soothing ingredients for starters the mullen leaf has antibacterial properties
that are believed to fight against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
some studies found that it even has anti-viral and anti-fungal properties as well
this trifecta is good when it comes to treating breathing issues that are associated with colds
and respiratory infections the most practical way to consume mullein is as an herbal tea
that can be purchased pre-packaged or you can just make your own at home black tea is yet another one
that we should mention because it is actually one of the most consumed beverages on the planet
black tea is available in most restaurants and is very easy to make at home as well what many people
don't realize is that it actually offers some really good health benefits for the human body
it's loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols that can lower inflammation
this benefits not only the lungs but all of the other major organs and systems of the body
some researchers believe that its properties can help open up the airways to improve lung function
this means that it may be beneficial for those with asthma although more research is needed in
this area the next tea on our list is licorice tea the licorice root has been used throughout
history for the treatment of things such as an upset stomach or upper respiratory infection
its compounds have been shown to contain antioxidant anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial
properties which as we've discussed throughout this video can benefit the lungs animal
studies found that an active ingredient known as glycerism can provide relief for asthma symptoms
but again more research is needed in this area you can shop for literacy online at a local market
or you can find a recipe to create your very own but keep in mind that each of these types of tea
may affect each of us differently that is why as always you should speak with your
doctor before consuming because they will know more about your individual condition
