Brewing and sipping calming teas provides a pause and may reduce stress through soothing aromas and nervous-system compounds.
Acid reflux and its chronic counterpart, GERD, occur when digestive acid from the stomach is forced back up the esophagus, causing irritation and even damage. It's caused by a weakening or relaxing of the lower esophagus sphincter (LES), which is there to prevent this backward flow, which can be brought on by pregnancy, smoking, weight gain, medications, or even just lying down after a big meal.
Hydrate with teas For Dr Ricardo Jose, consultant in respiratory medicine, hydration is key: It's about taking frequent sips throughout the day to keep the mucous membranes moist. Immunologist Dr Jenna Macciochi agrees, saying: I often stir a spoonful of raw honey nature's soothing antimicrobial into a cup of thyme tea (thyme steeped in water), which helps ease irritation and supports respiratory health. I also love marshmallow root tea, which is great for the mucous membranes.
