A Cupful of Comfort

Feeling under the weather? Here are three ways tea can help you feel better.

1. To Comfort an Upset Stomach

Peppermint and ginger are popular stomach soothers, often used to alleviate digestive discomfort and nausea. You can find teas with these flavors alone or with complementary ingredients such as turmeric, lemon, and green tea leaves.

2. To Soothe a Sore Throat

Green tea is praised for its excellent anti-inflammatory properties and high antioxidant content. Its neutral flavor makes it perfect for a spoonful of honey, which can help with a sore throat.

3. To Help You Sleep

For a restful night’s sleep, try chamomile or lavender tea. Both have a calming aroma, smooth taste and can be found in caffeine-free varieties. Plus, taking some time for yourself before bed can also help you relax and drift off to sleep.
