How about trying tea instead of coffee? The herbs used to brew healthy tea contain various ingredients that boost immunity. Using herbs to alleviate and prevent symptoms of various illnesses is called 'tea therapy.'

 

By practicing tea therapy, various medicinal plants are brewed in water and consumed regularly, which can help prevent or alleviate illnesses. Although the health benefits are not greater than directly consuming the plants, it offers the advantage of easily utilizing plants that are difficult to eat or have complicated preparation processes.
