🌿 How to Use It

For best results:

• Drink the tea warm, in slow sips
• Consume when you notice early symptoms like:
  • Nasal congestion
  • Mild cold
  • General discomfort or fatigue
• You can drink it 2–3 times a day during symptomatic days

💡 Why It Works

• Warm steam helps open airways and relieve congestion
• Honey soothes the throat and offers antimicrobial support
• Lemon provides vitamin C and a refreshing boost
• Spearmint helps ease discomfort and supports digestion

⚠️ Important Tips and Precautions

🍋 1. Be Careful with Lemon on an Empty Stomach

While warm lemon water is popular, it may not suit everyone.

• If you have gastritis, acid reflux, or a sensitive stomach, avoid drinking it on an empty stomach
• Instead, take it after meals or dilute it more

😁 2. Protect Your Tooth Enamel

Lemon is acidic and may weaken enamel over time.

• Drink with a straw when possible
• Avoid brushing your teeth immediately after (wait at least 30 minutes)
• Rinse your mouth with plain water afterward
