If anyone is looking for therapeutic teas, go to a asian market, like Pacific Ocean Marketplace

something similar, amazing food,

I noticed the slippery elm tea I bought for $6.49 a month ago is now $27 on amazon

1. When I can I get

Purple tea from Kenya. Helps the immune system. Has a shitloads of bioflavonoids.

2. I'm sick of Amazon.

3. Might be a nice drink.

But to protect you from a virus?

Woo

4. therapeutic

[GulfCoast66]

5. WTF does that even mean?

I could call my nightly cigar therapeutic. Because it is very relaxing.

But it’s gonna do nothing to keep me from getting sick. No more than some tea.

And I drink green tea every morning. Love it. But it not providing protection from a disease.

6. if you're the 80% that experiences mild symptoms, this might aid in your recovery

7. I have thought about it.

If you find it soothing and relaxing go for it. But don’t think it will have any effect on a virus.

And some herbal concoctions sold to desperate people actually can damage organs. None can help fight off a virus.

8. that's what I meant about therapeutic, it takes a toll on the body and the body needs support

and some are antiviral, thyme. elderberry, slippery elm, not meant to cure but aid in recovery

[GulfCoast66]

9. We will just have to politely disagree on the antiviral thing.

From a scientific standpoint. Which is where is where I live. Buy if the make you feel relaxed I’ve got no problem with them.

My real concern is two fold. Once we reject science some people will rely on them at the exclusion of real data. The other that some con-man or well meaning nut is recommending taking something that can cause harm.

Have a nice evening.

10. at the point your body is fighting the disease and overcoming it then these teas might aid in a

faster recovery, not meant as a cure but an aid, there is nothing that "cures" covid but your own immune response.

plus warm fluids are a good thing
