- Ginger: This root is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe irritated airways. Additionally, ginger is a natural expectorant, helping to break down and expel mucus.
- Thyme: Known for its antibacterial properties, thyme effectively combats the pathogens that can cause respiratory infections. It also serves as a powerful cough suppressant and helps relax the muscles of the trachea.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of fresh ginger root, finely chopped or grated
- 1 handful of fresh thyme (or 2 tablespoons of dried thyme)
- 2 cups of water
- Honey (optional, to taste and add antibacterial properties)
