Im sitting here with an achy stuffy head cold and slight fever. Over the long haul I have about every popular tisane ever mixed with tea. Last night I had some jasmine blossom, lemon myrtle, orange blossom, rose flower with greenish oolong which made me feel a lot better. Does anybody else use a tisane traditionally mixed with tea for a cold.

How about boiled fresh ginger root?
I think I have ginger pieces in tea. Ill have to look. Im more interested in a tisane/tea perse not some standalone herbal remedy with a teapot off to the side.

Ginger. Without a doubt. I've posted here a few times about it but my mother and some close Korean friends both do the exact same thing. Boil some coins of ginger for a good long time and then sometimes with added raw honey, sometimes straight. It will do wonders.

Ill try this a couple of days.
Id really have to be sick to drink something from KSH.

Rose hip infusion. Rose hip contains mountains of C vitamin.
Thanks. I have some of that lying around.

What I discovered from my once a decade cold is I want something that taste good with the tea and not something that was medicinal. Ive been collecting tisanes over the years from my local British tea shoppe. I must have every dried fruit and flower combinations in existence. Even everyday dried orange peel and blossoms tasted great. I wanted to see see something floating around in the cup that I could eat. Citrus flowers proved to be the best for breaking through the bad taste of a cold in the morning and dried fruits in the evening. Tea tells you when you are getting sick and when you are getting well. While you are sick it tells the severity.
