Cold weather is the season for colds and flu. Doctors say the perfect remedy to warm up your body and soothe your throat is a hot cup of lemon and honey.
Many people find that drinking hot drinks when they have a cold helps, says Dr. Emily Dashiell, a physician at Naturopathic Wellness. “My research and experience shows that hot lemon water with honey can be helpful for coughs, sore throats, and runny noses,” she says, according to Verywell Health.
Hot lemon honey warms the body and soothes the throat
Hot lemon water with honey is a warm drink that is often used as a home remedy for cold and flu symptoms. It is especially good when you have a cough or stuffy nose. The lemon juice helps relieve congestion and the honey soothes the throat. Its ingredients can improve coughs, runny noses, and sore throats.
The ingredients, including honey, lemon and hot water, all work to improve cold symptoms.
Honey. This is a scientifically proven cough remedy. Honey can help improve coughs because it coats the throat and soothes irritation. It also has antibacterial properties that can fight certain bacteria and viruses to prevent illness.
Lemon juice. Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C. Research shows that taking vitamin C when you have a cold can shorten the duration and reduce the severity of symptoms. Regularly consuming foods containing vitamin C or taking vitamin C supplements may reduce your risk of getting a cold.
Hot water. Drinking hot water can help you feel better when you have a respiratory illness. Research shows that a mixture of hot water and steam can clear nasal passages and soothe a sore throat.
Cold weather is the season for colds and flu, along with unpleasant symptoms like coughs, sore throats and runny noses.
Drinking hot drinks like hot lemon water with honey can improve coughs, soothe runny noses, and soothe sore throats. Drinking steaming hot drinks can also relieve sneezing, chills, and fatigue.
Research shows that drinking room temperature honey lemon water can also improve coughs, runny noses, and sneezing. However, it will not clear up a stuffy nose or improve a sore throat.
How to make hot lemon water with honey
Add honey and lemon juice to a glass. Add hot water, stir, and adjust to taste. If desired, add 1-2 slices of fresh ginger, according to Verywell Health.
