Echinacea Tea for Immune Support

2 ounces

Our most shared and beloved blend, Herbal Defense echinacea tea features a thoughtful mix of petals, leaves, flowers, and roots that herbalists have used for centuries during cold and flu season. Tasting of chamomile, ginger, and peppermint with a whisper of rose, this loose-leaf blend is the perfect brew for when you’re traveling, feel stressed and depleted, or suspect you’ve been exposed to unwanted germs.

FEATURED INGREDIENTS

• Chamomile is a calming, sweet little flower that soothes digestion and encourages the body to rest when it needs it most.

• Echinacea is a lovely purple coneflower that is proven to help minimize both the duration and the symptoms of the common cold.

• Ginger is a warming root that can help soothe nausea, support natural immunity, and infuse much-needed warmth into a chilled body.

• Peppermint not only tastes delicious, but also helps ease occasional cramping and nausea while soothing minor pain from headaches, earaches, and other signs of seasonal discomfort.

• Astragalus is a beloved tonic herb in Chinese Medicine that helps strengthen the body’s vital force and stimulate the immune system.

• Rose hips and petals are the cherry on top of this immune-supportive blend with a boost of Vitamin C and an energetic presence that feels like a warm, herbal hug - just what we need when we’re feeling under the weather.

TO MAKE

To steep a comforting cup of our Herbal Defense echinacea tea, add 1 tablespoon of the loose-leaf blend to a strainer placed within a mug and topped with just-boiled water. Cover and let steep for up to 10 minutes before removing the strainer and enjoying. Sweeten with local honey, if desired.

If you suspect you’re coming down with something, sip up to 5 cups of this tea throughout the day to infuse your body with extra herbal support.

**Because echinacea is an immune stimulant, it’s not recommended for anyone with an immune disorder.
