ImmuniTea

This tea is made up of a broad range of delicious and tangy herbs with beautiful medicinal properties.

The herbs themselves support and protect the function of your immune system. They do this through a variety of actions, some of which we will explore here:

Rosehips

are high in vitamin c and wonderful in treating all sorts of inflammation, helping to relieve sore throats and congestion.

Licorice

brings its sweetness to this tea, as well as its anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to soothe and protect the lining of your mouth and throat. The lungs also benefit from licorice as it helps to clear out excess mucous while also relieving coughing.

Lemon peel

adds a lovely citrus tang to this tea, supports immune function, and is high in vitamin C.

Elderberry

has a sweet, pungent taste. It is Immunomodulation, antiviral, antibacterial
and high in antioxidants. It is fabulous during times of colds, sinusitis, hay fever, allergies, nasal catarrh, and fever.

Chamomile

has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant constituents which both help support immune system health and activity.

Echinacea

stimulates the immune system by activating macrophages and elevating white blood cell levels in the body and can help inhibit the ability of viruses to enter and take over the cell. It is traditionally used for the onset of colds & flu, sore throats, respiratory infections. As a diaphoretic, it helps stimulate circulation and sweating and supports a fever to do its job. Its anti-inflammatory actions help relieve symptoms caused by the infectious stage of an illness. Echinacea also helps relieve allergic reactions and symptoms by working with histamine response.

Calendula

helps to soothe mucous membranes and supports your lymphatic system.

Hibiscus

brings a tart zing to this blend and has a high vitamin C content.

 

This powerhouse of immune support has another very helpful quality, it’s delicious hot or cold.

Perfect for the colder days that are coming up as we drift into autumn but also good for those lingering hot days of summer.

Always good for a little immune system pick-me-up. Especially with the high levels of vitamin C in this blend.
