Having a strong immune system is more important than ever. With the ongoing pandemic, while there is no proven cure as of now, enhancing the body's immunity plays a very crucial role in maintaining optimum health.
Here are five teas which can play a significant role in boosting and building your immunity the natural way:
Turmeric Tea
Turmeric known as the Golden Son of Ayurveda has been known as one of the healthiest spices of India due to its multiple medicinal and adaptogenic benefits. The Ministry of AYUSH has recommended Turmeric for boosting immunity. Make sure you’re drinking turmeric tea coupled with black pepper.
The main active ingredient in Turmeric, ‘Curcumin’ is responsible for its multiple life enhancing properties. Combining black pepper with turmeric is proven to increase curcumin’s absorption in the body significantly.
Lemon Tea
There is nothing quite as healthy as a cup of lemon tea. Besides being packed with nutrients that can give your health a big boost, it is a great way to stay hydrated as well, and now with summers already here, this could be an elixir. Lemon tea is loaded with vitamin C, which can act as a natural antioxidant in boosting the body’s immunity.
Pure Green Tea
Well-known for being an abundant source of antioxidants, drinking green tea on a regular basis flushes out the toxins from the body. Abundant in polyphenols and catechins, green tea helps boost immunity. Green tea has long been recognized as having powerful antiviral properties and can go a long way to keep you healthy and well.
Moringa Tea
Moringa is just the superfood we need. The moringa leaves provide a significant amount of antioxidants. It is a treasure house of all essential nutrients including essential vitamins and minerals that are needed to improve the immunity. When consumed regularly, moringa can really strengthen your immunity.
Ashwagandha Tea
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb, which helps our body to deal with daily stress and balances our body functioning. It also promotes overall immunity, strength, energy and endurance. It’s been used to prepare Ayurvedic medicine for a long time. Ashwagandha is not limited to the immune system but offers a lot of other health benefits.
To brew them right and well is also essential. It’s very important to note that you should always use freshly drawn water. After it reaches boiling point (100 degrees C), allow it to rest for 1 minute. This will bring down the temperature to around 80 degrees C, which is an ideal temperature to brew these teas. Steep these teas for between 3 and 5 minutes.
Avoid adding milk to these teas. You can add honey, stevia or any other sweetener as you may like.
Happy Sipping!
