A: Unfortunately, once you have a cold it just needs to run its course. Drinking teas can be comforting and can support the body to help it fight the virus. Black, green and white teas are all high in antioxidants, all have caffeine. Black has fewest antioxidants and most caffeine white has most antioxidants and least caffeine, green is in the middle.Red tea is high in antioxidants and has no caffeine. The antioxidants help the immune system. Ecanaecia (not sure of the spelling) is an herb that can be taken as a tea or as a capsule that supports the immune system and is known to help the body ward off colds and flu. Once you have one it will not make it go away but may help the body to fight it faster. There are teas that contain slippery elm, like Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat that can help soothe a sore and scratchy throat. Teas that contain aromatic herbs like eucalyptus and peppermint like Traditional Medicinals Breathe Easy that can help open breathing passages and offer some minor relief for congestion. If you eat chicken, some old fashioned, home made chicken soup with lots of garlic and fresh herbs can also help. Meanwhile, rest, drink fluids and ride it out.
