Immune System Enhancement

The following are ready to support your immune system in battling unwanted viruses and bacteria. Each one offering its own unique benefits and method of action. Herbs are really helpful to give your body just what it needs to fight its best, clean out the pathogens and prevent secondary infection.  I placed them in order of gentlest to strongest.

FIRE CIDER - Our take on the classic immunity tonic.  Potent, nourishing and obviously ready to warm up any cold.  Feel the tradition steeped into every bag.  This one has quickly become a cult classic! 

When? If you feel a cold coming on that needs some heat! Great to drink 1-2x daily when battling a bug.  Its also really nice to help open up congested sinuses or warm up when you are chilling.

GET WELL - This blend is always in by kitchen cabinet.  It is a powerful blend of immune system nourishing, antiviral, antibacterial, and respiratory tonic herbs  all brought together in a synergistic manner to create a very effective blend intended to offer support during illness and promote a speedy recovery. 

When? Feeling under the weather and want to support your body back to well.  Enjoy 1-2 bags daily when ill. Drinking this tea warm, after a hot bath and tucked under the covers… its like a hug when you need it most. 

HAUT TODDY - Make the perfect hot toddy…or simply enjoy a wonderful cup of tea. I created the brew when I was craving Hot Toddies but wanted them to be just a bit better for me and my immune system. So, Haut Toddy was born! This brew brings it with Immune system tonics, digestive tonics, warming herbs, and a perfect flavor combo for not just a Hot Toddy, but a Haut Toddy. The tea is so yummy, many folks like to brew this one without the whiskey for its health benefits and warming flavor.

When? If you have been around someone sick or if you are just beginning to feel a bit “off”. If you are already sick and are craving a Hot Toddy but want it to be even better for you.

IMMUNE BOOST - Immune system nourishing and immune stimulant herbs paired with respiratory system tonics ready to assist your body in elevating its defenses in times of need. Your body sees the attacker and knocks it out!

When? If you have been around someone sick or you are beginning to feel a bit “off”. Drink 1-2x day when wanting immune system enhancement.    

POWER THROUGH- Focused on helping the body “power through” illness with diaphoretic, antiviral, expectorant, antibacterial and immune nourishing herbs specific to today’s immune challenges. This blend was created very intentionally, focused on many aspects of viral concerns of now and how to best support the system dealing with those specific challenges.

When? This blend should be drank immediately upon getting ill. Drink at least 1 bag daily in hot/warm water until package is finished.Drink

Specific Care

When ill, our bodies send signals as to which areas need extra care. These herbal blends were created to tend to specific systems in time of need and support them back to a state of wellness. The key to best battling a bug is tending to each symptom as it presents and being ready to change course the moment it does.

BREATHE Thinning - Respiratory system tonic focused on bronchial and lung health, providing the body support to thin sputum. Best drank when wanting to get sputum (mucous in lower respiratory system) up and out.

When? When a cough is present. Drink at least once per day while cough is present.

PORCUPINE - Sore throat soothing herbs blended together focusing on relief for sore, painful throats. It has shown quite helpful at the beginning stages of an illness when the throat is irratated, during illness to help inhibit progression of inflammation in the throat, and after when a dry cough often appears. 

When? Drink as needed for sore throat but also if there is a ticklish, non productive cough that usually occurs after a respiratory system illness. This cough results from the tissue being inflamed and irritated so this soothing blend helps tend to those irritable tissues.

SINUS Dry -Respiratory tonic herbs focused on sinus health. Herbs blended specifically for a runny/congested nose. Mucous membrane tonifying, aromatically decongesting and antibacterial. Be sure to breathe in the steam of this brew as it is cooling to a comfortable drinking temperature to carry the bacteriostatic volatile oils into the congested sinuses.  

When? Drink as needed when your sinuses are causing issue.  It's very important to always keep mucous moving in the sinuses when battling illness to help prevent secondary infection.  

Sinus Steam- My go-to anytime someone in our home is battling a sinus issue.  The bacteriostatic volatile oils that escape through the steam carry into your sinuses when breathed in to help prevent secondary infection.  

When? We do this at least 1x daily when sinuses are congested.
