My personal cold and flu care recipe I’ve been making my family for years and am able to do a limited release each year thanks to some of our local growers willing to grow these herbs for us! This herbal blend is not only an amazing antibacterial, antiviral, decongestant, expectorant, immune boosting tea but it also makes an incredible sinus steam to enjoy while you are waiting on your tea to cool enough to drink it! Pick me if: You want a cold and flu season tea ready to battle any bug. Great to keep on hand for when you need it. Ingredients: ECHINACEA PURPUREA LEAFº BEE BALMº ANISE HYSSOPº PEPPERMINTº SPILANTHESº MULLEINº THYMEº caffeine free ºorganically grown Please know: Our hand-made tea bags are quite large in order to contain enough herb to offer you the full intended benefit and desired support. Each one may be re-steeped several times throughout the day. The brewed tea may also be saved in the fridge over night and enjoyed chilled the following day! ————————————————————————— You may also be interested in our GET WELL tincture ————————————————————————— How To Brew: Bagged: Use 1 tea bag per 16 oz of 200 ºF water. Begin drinking when temperature is comfortable but never remove tea bag. Loose Leaf: Use 2 Tb per 16 oz of 200 ºF water and steep a minimum of 15 minutes. The longer these herbs steep the better and more potent the herbal infusion will be. Add sweetness if you prefer.

Here’s why I make it: Echinacea purpurea leaf is an all star immune supporting herb noted to support secretory immune response (macrophage activity) as well as interleukin, interferon, and NK cell production as shown in multiple studies and traditional use. Bee Balm is one of my all time top herbs to battle any bug. It’s antiviral, antibacterial, decongestant and warming. It could basically be the tea all by itself. It’s also my favorite sinus steam to relieve congestion and battle bacterial in the sinuses. SO I suggest inhaling the steam of this tea while it is steeping to bring an added benefit to the sinuses. I then added Anise Hyssop which is not only delicious, but also a wonderful respiratory tonic herb to tend to the throat, bronchials and lungs. I then added in Spilanthes because it is an immune system boosting, antibacterial powerhouse. Thyme is included as a powerful antibacterial herb with expectorant properties as well as mild antiviral properties. Peppermint not only warms the body as it somehow seems to offer a cooling effect, it also aids with relieving congestion and brings a lovely flavor. Hope it serves your family as well as it does mine. This blend doesn’t miss a nook or cranny for that bug to hide! I give this blend to basically anyone who is ill, even children just in smaller amounts.
