Every year, with the onset of winter and the drop in temperatures, winter illnesses lie in wait for us: colds, rhinitis, sore throats... viruses are everywhere and can quickly leave us bedridden. Sometimes, there's virtually no medical treatment available, and we just have to put up with the inconvenience. Runny nose, nasty cough, feeling weak or aching are common symptoms. Mucus forms a protective layer over the mouth, nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, stomach and intestines. It prevents them from becoming dehydrated.
Mucus also forms a protective barrier against intruders. It prevents bacteria and viruses from entering your body. Mucus also contains antibodies that help your body recognize and kill intruders. So, fortunately, there's always mucus in your body.
But sometimes, the composition of mucus changes: it becomes thicker, more solid. When this happens, its presence in your body doesn't go unnoticed (even though you don't normally feel it). This may be the case following an allergic reaction, after eating or drinking dairy products (if you're lactose intolerant) or when you have a cold. Inhalations, herbal teas and herbal blends can be very effective for a temporary cold or hoarseness, for example. Thyme infusions with honey, blackcurrant juice, garlic and clay.
