How to Use Teas to Improve Respiratory System

Herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years to fight coughs and bronchitis, maintain healthy lungs, improve the bronchi-alveolar passages and prevent respiratory infections. Herbal teas can especially help your body defend itself against respiratory infections during high-risk seasons.

Instructions

• 1

  Buy tea Pulmonaria to improve your bronchi-alveolar passages. It was developed in Eastern Europe for hundreds of years to fight cough, respiratory conditions and bronchitis.

• 2

  Make a tea during cold season to clear your bronchial passages. Use 1 to 2 tsp. per cup of water. If you're coughing or have bronchitis, brew 1 Tbsp. of Pulmonaria per cup. Drink 3 to 4 cups a day. To make a thermos to bring with you, use 4 Tbsps. for a quart of tea.

• 3

  Add cold water to the Pulmonaria. Bring it to a boil and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Add honey or raspberry jam to sweeten the tea.

• 4

  Combine Pulmonaria tea with an aromatherapy spray like Aeolian Vapor to heal your respiratory system.

  Use Goldenseal tea for its antibiotic capabilities. It's helpful in reducing the inflammation of the respiratory system and mucous membranes. Brew according to the instructions on the package.
