Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hello: My hubby has come down with pneumonia. It started late Saturday night. He went to the doctor and they did bloodwork, chest xrays, etc. He's now on an antibiotic. Any recommendations on something to make him feel better? Like a certain tea? He's just been resting in bed mostly but still congested obviously. Thanks Diane M. Diedrich http://myparklane.com/sparkle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Last spring I had bronchitis that in the past might have turned into pneumonia, but this time I zapped it . But while I still had it, a tea made with mullein leaf and liquorice root was really comforting. I boiled the root by itself for a while and then steeped the mullein. Very comforting and soothing, especially with honey. All I had was mullein leaf, no flowers, and it worked fine. And since you are doing anti-biotics, remember to do a course of probiotics afterwards!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Ginger tea with lemon and honey,dash of cayenne pepper if you can tolerate it. Oregano Tincture is also very good for colds, flu and pnuemonia. Lobelia tincture and fuengreek seed tea help with congestion. You can use fresh grated ginger or a tsp of ground ginger.
