Ingredient Spotlight
Elderberry
(Sambucus nigra)
Elderberries are packed with antioxidants, including vitamins A & C and flavonoids, which support immune function to help fight off colds and flu. Their antiviral properties make them a staple in traditional remedies for respiratory health.
Echinacea
(Echinacea purpurea)
Known as one of the most popular herbs for immunity, echinacea may help reduce the severity and duration of colds. It stimulates the production of white blood cells, aiding your body’s natural defense mechanisms.
Rosehip
(Rosa canina)
Rosehips are an excellent source of vitamin C, which promotes skin health, strengthens the immune system, and reduces inflammation. They add a tart, fruity flavor to the blend.
Ginger Root
(Zingiber officinale)
Ginger is a warming herb that supports digestion, reduces nausea, and helps fight inflammation. It also contains compounds like gingerol that have antimicrobial properties.
Orange Peel
(Citrus sinensis)
Orange peel adds a bright, citrusy note to the tea while offering antioxidants and natural oils that promote digestion and support overall wellness.
Cinnamon
(Cinnamomum burmanii)
Cinnamon brings a comforting warmth to the blend. It helps regulate blood sugar levels, supports digestion, and provides antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Ginger has long been considered a protective herb in many cultures. It’s believed to ignite inner fire and courage, often used to clear negative energy.
