Looking for a natural herbal tea to relieve phlegm, coughs, and congestion? This soothing tea recipe is designed to clear the airways and support respiratory health. It’s especially helpful for smokers, as well as those suffering from colds, persistent coughs, or mild asthma.
Breathing well is essential for overall well-being, but factors such as pollution, smoking, sudden changes in temperature, and frequent respiratory infections can constrict the airways—leading to mucus buildup, coughing, and shortness of breath.

This herbal tea is particularly beneficial for smokers, but it’s also effective for mild asthma, seasonal colds, congestion, or to simply clear the bronchi and promote easier, deeper breathing.
