Teaching Herbalism Through Tea Craft It seems that every bug that goes around ends up landing in little one’s respiratory tract one way or another. Ive had lots of practice over the years with blending up teas for the tiny ones. Here’s the most comprehensively helpful tea that I have come up with over time. SPEARMINT- I chose this mint because of its sweetness that can help cover up some of the more intense flavors in this brew. Spearmint also helps to aromatically open the pipes. MARSHMALLOW ROOT is the most soothing herb I know to the respiratory tract so whether the issue is thick mucous, irritated tissues, or inflammation, this herb knows how to help. MULLEIN is a well rounded but gentle respiratory herb great for congestion in the sinuses, bronchial and lungs. It helps the body get the gunk out all the while soothing irritated tissues with its demulscent properties. HYSSOP is a gently powerful antiviral expectorant herb I call upon often for making sure things don’t stick around in the little lungs. WILD CHERRY BARK has a very long history of tending to every respiratory symptoms from whooping cough to the croup to respiratory infections. I can’t say that this herb treats any of these things, but I can say that folks have called upon it repeatedly for 100s of years for good reason. ROSEHIPS are delicious, packed with Vitamin C and antiinflammatory so they are a must have in any children’s tea. THYME is the last ingredient that I hesitantly add because of flavor, but know that I must because of effect. I love this herb for respiratory issues needing to help dry up excess and move it along. Strongly antibacterial, expectorant, and mildly antiviral this common cooking spice is anything but basic. Our Packaging Our packaging is intentionally minimal and environmentally conscious.
