Citizens who want to protect themselves from fall diseases in Erzincan take their breath in herbalists. Stating that sales have increased, herbalists recommend winter tea against colds.
After the fall makes itself felt and the weather gets colder, citizens living in Erzincan run to herbalists to take precautions against diseases. Emphasizing that winter teas should be drunk to strengthen the immune system before getting sick, herbalists recommend herbal products such as linden, marshmallow tea and hibiscus. Citizens, who prefer herbalists as well as many medicinal treatments, listened to the advice of herbalists this time instead of the herbal products they always prefer. Herbalists recommended winter tea, which is blended and boiled with many herbs and herbal products to be used against diseases seen as weather change discomfort. The winter tea, which contains products such as linden, marshmallow flower, rosehip, ginger, cinnamon, clove, turmeric, chamomile and cranberry, was met with interest by citizens. While the herbalists recommended the winter tea, they explained both the making of the tea and its benefits. Citizens, on the other hand, stated that they benefited from the advice they received from herbalists and recommended it.
“People think that winter tea is drunk after the flu”
Noting that people are affected by the harsh weather change especially in the transition months to the fall season, aktar Murat Sönmez said that citizens usually consume products such as linden, winter tea, cinnamon and ginger during these periods.
Sönmez said, “With the increase in diseases in the fall, interest in herbalism has increased throughout the country. Since people's demand for alternative medicine has increased recently, we mostly recommend marshmallow tea, hibiscus, linden and similar products here. It both softens the throat and reduces the infection rate in the throat. There is a misconception in people. It is generally thought that winter tea is drunk after the flu, but it is the opposite. Winter tea is a drink that should be consumed to strengthen the body's immunity and resistance.”
Murat Sönmez, who also talked about the benefits of winter teas, said, “The sine qua non of winter tea is linden. It has a throat softening effect. Because it is very good for dry cough and throat damage. Apart from that, dry ginger, cinnamon and cloves with antioxidant properties are very effective because they have the effect of reducing infection. Hibiscus is among the plants we recommend to increase the body's resistance a little more, whether it is a sweetener. These plants I have mentioned are usually fixture products, that is, they are must-have products in any herbalist. In addition to winter tea, we can protect our immunity by adding liquid propolis to any drink or food you consume. I think liquid propolis does not get the value it deserves in Turkey. Liquid propolis is very important for the body's immunity and resistance. We especially recommend propolis to strengthen the immunity of young children. We support people to gradually turn to herbal products, that is, alternative medicine, rather than chemical drugs.”
