The warmth of a steaming herbal tea is not just a psychological comfort. When the warm liquid flows down your throat, it provides an immediate soothing effect on irritated mucous membranes, while the steam released from the infusion helps to loosen nasal mucus, making breathing easier. Hydration is crucial during a cold: drinking plenty helps to thin secretions and eliminate toxins, speeding up the healing process.
The ritual itself of preparing and slowly sipping a warm herbal tea invites us to slow down, to take a rejuvenating break that our body, busy fighting the infection, insistently demands. It is a moment where the wisdom of nature meets the primal need for care and warmth, transforming a simple gesture into a powerful medicine for body and spirit.
In the silent dialogue between nature and well-being, herbal teas for colds emerge as messengers of relief, each with its own healing language. Every herb, with its unique aromatic and therapeutic profile, can be used individually or in harmonious blends that amplify its effectiveness. Here are six valuable natural allies that herbal tradition offers us to face seasonal ailments with gentleness and determination.
This trinity of ingredients is perhaps the most classic and powerful grandmother's remedy against colds. To prepare it:
Let the ginger infuse in the water for 5-7 minutes, add the lemon juice, and sweeten with honey only when the temperature has slightly dropped, to preserve its therapeutic properties. Ginger, with its warming action, stimulates circulation and fights inflammation, while lemon provides vitamin C and honey soothes the irritated throat with its natural antibacterial effect.
Take a moment for yourself: a fragrant herbal tea can become a small wellness ritual. Discover at Terzaluna, the online shop specializing in high-quality teas and spices, our Ginger Tea Cut, ideal for your aromatic breaks.
When the immune system needs extra support:
Let it infuse for 10 minutes. Rosehip contains a concentration of vitamin C up to 20 times higher than citrus fruits, while echinacea is renowned for its ability to stimulate T lymphocytes, essential cells in the immune response. A true protective shield in a cup, particularly effective in the early stages of flu symptoms.
Sip by sip, choose to listen to your body and pamper it with simple and natural rituals. At Terzaluna, the online shop for quality herbal teas and spices, you can also find our selection of natural extracts like the Echinacea Tincture.

For those suffering from nasal congestion and mucus:
Infuse for 5-8 minutes and breathe in the aromatic vapors before sipping. The thyme promotes the fluidity of bronchial mucus, while the mint opens the airways with its balsamic action. The fragrance released by this herbal tea is therapeutic in itself: inhale deeply for an immediate decongestant effect. Ideal in the morning or mid-afternoon to regain breath and vitality.
Aromatic, intense, perfect for herbal teas with a strong fragrance: Dried Thyme is a must-have in your pantry. On Terzaluna, the high-quality tea and spice e-commerce, you'll find carefully selected thyme for your evening infusions.

A powerful trio to clear the airways:
Let it steep for 8-10 minutes, strain, and drink warm. Eucalyptus, with its essential oil rich in eucalyptol, is a powerful natural balsamic; sage acts as a decongestant and expectorant; bay leaf completes the action with its anti-inflammatory properties. However, be cautious: avoid this tea if you suffer from hypertension, as sage may temporarily increase blood pressure.
The aroma alone evokes a sense of freshness: Dried Eucalyptus is the ingredient that adds character to your infusions. Order it on Terzaluna, the online shop for those seeking authentic and refined flavors.

When a cold is accompanied by irritability and difficulty resting:
Infuse for 5-6 minutes. Chamomile, besides promoting relaxation, has an unexpected decongestant action that helps unblock the nose, while mallow creates a protective film on the inflamed mucous membranes of the throat and upper respiratory tract. This herbal tea is particularly recommended in the evening, before bedtime, to promote a restorative sleep despite the cold.
Colorful, delicate, fragrant: Mallow Flowers are perfect for enriching your evening teas with a floral and refined touch. On Terzaluna, the e-commerce dedicated to those who love to take care of themselves with natural rituals, you'll find only selected ingredients.

For those seeking an energizing approach:
Boil the water with the cinnamon for 2-3 minutes, turn off the heat, and add the chili pepper and lemon, letting it steep for another 5 minutes. This powerful warming combination stimulates circulation, increases body temperature, and promotes sweating, helping the body expel toxins. The spicy and enveloping flavor offers an immediate sensation of comfort and vitality, perfect for combating the fatigue typical of winter ailments.
Do you want to add a spicy and enveloping note to your herbal teas? Cinnamon cut for tea is the ingredient you can't miss. You can find it on Terzaluna, the ecommerce for those who love infusions with a strong and natural flavor.

The preparation of a herbal tea for a cold is a simple yet refined art, where every gesture can make the difference between a mediocre infusion and a truly effective remedy. Besides choosing the right ingredients, it is the preparation method that determines the drink's ability to extract and preserve the beneficial active ingredients of the herbs.
To get the most out of natural remedies for flu symptoms, here are the essential steps:
A little secret to enhance the effect of herbal teas for colds and flu: deeply inhale the steam that rises from the freshly prepared cup, keeping your face about 20 cm away and, if possible, covering yourself with a towel. This simple gesture amplifies the decongestant action of the essential oils present in the infusion.
To naturally sweeten your herbal tea:
For an extra touch of effectiveness, you can enrich your cold herbal tea with a few drops of propolis, a powerful natural antiseptic that enhances the action of the herbs against flu symptoms, transforming a simple infusion into a true healing elixir.
Preparing herbal teas for colds following recipes passed down through generations means embracing ancient knowledge, made of slow and conscious gestures. The magic of homemade preparations lies not only in their effectiveness but also in the creation process itself: choosing the loose herbs, measuring them carefully, perceiving the aromas that emanate between your fingers. It is a return to the roots, to the folk wisdom that, long before the advent of modern medicine, had identified plants as remedies for seasonal ailments.
Ingredients:
Looking for something different for your infusions? Lapacho Bark captivates you with its strong and deep aroma. Find it on Terzaluna, the e-commerce specialized in quality teas and spices.
Preparation:
Mix the herbs in a cup, pour 250ml of boiling water and cover. Let it steep for 7-8 minutes, strain carefully, add the lemon, and sweeten with honey once the temperature has dropped. Drink three cups a day, preferably warm and in small sips, allowing the aromatic steam to rise to your nostrils, just as our grandmothers advised when they wrapped us in warm blankets during winter ailments.
Mix all the dry ingredients and store them in a dark glass airtight jar. To prepare the tea, pour a heaping tablespoon of the mix into 250ml of boiling water and let it steep for 10 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey. This powerful blend, which our ancestors prepared at the first sign of intense cold, is ideal to take preventively, one cup in the morning throughout the winter, as an invisible shield against seasonal ailments.
With an intense aroma and unmistakable taste, green anise seeds are ideal for adding character to your evening teas. Find them on Terzaluna, the online shop for those who love to infuse quality into every cup.

For this gentle tea, particularly suitable for the little ones, use reduced doses and a shorter infusion. Pour water at 90°C (not boiling) over the ingredients and let it steep for only 4-5 minutes. Strain with particular care, sweeten with a little honey once the temperature has dropped below 40°C, and serve warm, never hot. Grandmothers knew that children needed a gentler touch, almost like a caress in a cup that could comfort without overwhelming their delicate systems. Offer this tea in small quantities several times a day, turning each sip into a moment of care and attention.

There are not only herbal teas or infusions to treat cough, sore throat, or cold, but other excellent natural remedies that will benefit your respiratory system when stressed by temperature changes or some inflammation. Here are some natural extracts and dietary supplements we recommend.
Propgola is not a cold herbal tea, but a dietary supplement with Italian propolis and plant extracts known for their balsamic, soothing, and protective effect on the oral cavity, enhanced by the presence of strongly balsamic essential oils like eucalyptus, tea tree, and manuka.
Influvin by Erbe Nobili is a true panacea for seasonal ailments. It is a dietary supplement with an original combination of plants capable of strengthening the immune system: Echinacea, Astragalus, and Andrographis are known immune stimulants, while plants like myrrh and essential oils of thyme, oregano, and cinnamon are excellent antiseptics and antibacterials. Thanks to this dual and synergistic effect, the preparation is a valid aid in all flu forms with an infectious component.
These are our natural remedies, infusions, and supplements, effective for strengthening the immune system and preventing and counteracting seasonal ailments. If symptoms persist, it is always advisable to consult a doctor.
