Although the weather outside is still quite comfortable for late autumn, the number of people suffering from acute respiratory viral infections and flu is growing every week.
And the number of sick people will increase, so supporting the immune system is very important now.
Doctors recommend using natural ingredients for this purpose, such as ginger, sea buckthorn, viburnum, honey, and lemon.
They are high in vitamins, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components that help strengthen the body and prevent disease.
What are the best ingredients to use to make restorative teas?
Ginger
It contains gingerol, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Ginger also improves blood circulation and strengthens the body's defenses.

How to brew tea correctly and how much to drink
Nutritionists advise drinking tea warm, but not hot, to avoid irritation of the mucous membrane. Add honey only to a warm drink (up to 40°C) to preserve its beneficial properties.
To achieve good results from drinking teas, you should drink them regularly, but in moderation - 2-3 cups a day.
For reference
Tea is a drink obtained by boiling, brewing and/or infusing tea leaves, which are pre-prepared in a special way.
