Types of tea effective for rhinitis

There are probably many people suffering from rhinitis. Even a small group will inevitably include one or two people with rhinitis symptoms. I myself now have milder rhinitis symptoms, so it's not as stressful as before, but I have definitely experienced a lot of suffering from rhinitis and have seen many people around me struggle with it.

 

 

<Onset of Rhinitis>

 

Usually, symptoms of rhinitis occur mostly in spring and fall. During these seasons, there are many allergens in the air, and the humidity drops, causing the nose to become dry. That's why, in spring and fall, the number of patients with rhinitis visiting ENT clinics really increases. I was also a regular patient.

 

These days, the number of rhinitis patients increases even during the summer. As temperatures rise gradually in the summer, air conditioners are used heavily, which causes the nose to become dry rather than moist.

 

 

It is said that even a 1-degree drop in human body temperature can reduce immunity by nearly 30%. Therefore, if you continue to be exposed to air conditioning set to excessively low temperatures in enclosed indoor spaces, your body's immune strength will weaken significantly. At such times, even mild symptoms like rhinitis can reoccur.

 

 

Tea that is good for rhinitis

 

I believe that allergic rhinitis treatment is difficult to achieve with just one method. I think improvement requires a comprehensive effort. Basically, managing physical health and exercising regularly are a given. Even if you eat well, if your basic lifestyle habits are poor, your body's immunity won't be strong.

 

Receiving treatment for rhinitis at the ENT clinic isn't something you can do every day. Taking medication is also difficult. Those who have tried rhinitis medication know, but it makes you extremely sleepy. Whenever I take rhinitis medicine, my eyes always feel heavy, and I end up dozing off so much I can't even count.

 

So, I thought I could do it every day, and what I did was incorporate herbal teas that are good for rhinitis into my daily routine. After researching various teas and gathering information, I found that there are a few popular teas that are considered beneficial for rhinitis among the easily consumable options.

 

It was ginger tea, green tea, peppermint tea, and job's tears tea.

 

Ginger tea

 

 

Ginger, which has powerful antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory effects, is said to help strengthen the immune system and suppress inflammation. In particular, the gingerol component, which is abundantly contained in ginger, not only gives ginger its distinctive aroma and flavor but also has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, greatly aiding in alleviating nasal inflammation caused by rhinitis.

 

In addition, ginger tea has antipyretic effects that can help reduce fever.

 

 

👉🏻TIP: How to Make Ginger Tea👈🏻

 

1. After peeling fresh ginger, slice it thinly into several pieces.
2.  

2. Put ginger pieces and water into a pot and bring to a boil.

 

3. Steep the ginger in boiling water for about 10 to 15 minutes to extract its ingredients well.

 

You can adjust the flavor by adding honey or lemon to the brewed ginger tea.

 

 

2) Green tea

 

 

The most commonly consumed tea among the public is green tea. This green tea also has many advantages. The catechin component of green tea is said to be a powerful antioxidant.

 

It is said to be effective in alleviating inflammation of the nose and sinuses, and contains components in green tea that boost immunity.

 

 

3) Peppermint tea

 

 

It's a tea with a pleasant peppermint scent. Peppermint contains menthol, which helps to relax the blood vessels in the nose and alleviate nasal congestion caused by colds and rhinitis. Since it also has a calming effect, it is recommended for people who often feel anxious, restless, or tense.

 

 

4) Sword bean tea

 

 

Job's tears tea is also famous as a good tea for rhinitis. Job's tears help keep the stomach and intestines healthy and have a warming property, so it is a good tea to enjoy during winter when the body becomes dry and sensitive to cold.

 

Therefore, people who usually have a lot of heat in their bodies should regulate their intake, and it is said that there is no difficulty in drinking when boiled together with a sponge that has a cold nature.

 

 

I explained about teas that help with rhinitis. Rhinitis should not be treated with just one remedy. You need to manage your body comprehensively. It is essential to ventilate indoor spaces regularly, clean air conditioner filters, and keep the house clean routinely. When symptoms begin, do not neglect them; seek medical treatment immediately to prevent the condition from worsening.

 

If symptoms begin and are left unmanaged and untreated, they can develop into chronic rhinitis, which may lead to complications such as otitis media and sinusitis. So, don't be complacent just because it's summer; take good care of your health through proper fitness, hygiene, and beneficial foods to see positive results.^^
