For asthma, some ayurvedic practitioners suggest tulsi tea or liquorice tea. These are natural and vegetarian, often used for respiratory health. But it's a supportive measure, not a primary treatment. Always check ingredients for any potential allergens.
Yes, I've heard ginger tea can be helpful for respiratory issues and soothing. Good for easing congestion.
As someone who has to watch everything I eat and drink due to diabetes, I'd say be careful with any tea that claims to be 'good' for asthma. If you add honey or sugar, it can affect blood sugar. Even natural ingredients can have side effects. Always discuss with your doctor, especially if you have other conditions.
My son has mild asthma. Our pediatrician said warm liquids are good, so we give him light ginger-tulsi tea sometimes. It calms his cough. But it's very important to keep their inhaler ready and always consult the doctor for proper medication and management plans.
Bro, my friend has asthma and his family makes him drink ginger tea, sometimes with a little honey. It helps clear the throat and makes breathing a bit easier during attacks. Not a cure, but it provides some relief, he says.
Look, with something serious like asthma, please don't just pick a tea based on internet advice. Many 'remedies' are unproven and can actually be harmful. Always, always check with your pulmonologist before trying any new tea or supplement. Your health isn't a game.
