Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Tea (mixed), particularly herbal teas, have been used traditionally across various cultures as a supportive remedy for colds accompanied by fever. The use of mixed teas often includes ingredients such as ginger, peppermint, chamomile, or elderflower, all of which have a long history in traditional medicine systems like Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and various European folk remedies. These teas are believed to help soothe sore throats, provide hydration, and induce sweating, which is thought to help "break" a fever. While some individual herbs found in mixed teas have limited scientific evidence for mild symptom relief (for example, ginger or chamomile for soothing sore throats), robust clinical evidence for the efficacy of mixed teas in treating colds with fever is lacking. Most benefits are attributed to their warm, soothing nature, their ability to promote fluid intake, and placebo effects. Modern clinical guidelines typically do not recommend herbal teas as primary treatments for colds with fever, but they are considered safe as adjuncts for comfort. Overall, the support for tea (mixed) in this context is primarily traditional, with a low to moderate level of supporting evidence.
