Here’s why I make it: 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.
