The typical course of an adaptive immune response is about 10 days. The rare cognate T cells become activated in lymph nodes and start proliferating. The rate of activated T cells leaving the lymph nodes and returning to the circulation peaks after 4 or 5 days, then declines as the infection is cleared. Presumably antibody production follows a similar course, since helper T cells are involved in the activation of B cells. Often people think that something they did got rid of the flu, but it was just their immune system doing it's job, which takes time. The first T cell division (for a naive, i.e. non-memory cell) takes about 24 hrs, while subsequent divisions take 6-8 hours. As doctors will tell you, drugs are ineffective against viruses. I'm certain this applies to folk medicines.

if the individual tea bags were packaged in foil packs in paper boxes of mostly green design, your recovery was enabled by 4,000 years of wisdom that not gets at the root cause of ailment, as opposed to the pop science that merely addresses the outward signs of distress you have been blessed :0) next time when coming down with sniffles, take very hot bath, drink same tea immediately, and go to sleep all wrapped up when you awake, you would be weak, but all-clear well and ready for big meal
