Remedy Cold and Flu Tea by Yandina Apotheca 120G

When the sniffles hit the house, this is the tea we reach for. Remedy Cold and Flu Tea is a warming, aromatic blend built from herbs long used to support the body through cold and flu season.

We like it steeped strong and sipped often at the first sign of a scratchy throat or runny nose. Remedy Tea is gentle enough for your little ones too and most children very much enjoy the taste.

What’s in the cup and why

Echinacea root: Echinacea is one of the most researched herbs for immune support, traditionally used at the first sign of a cold to help the body respond quickly.,It’s included here as the backbone of the blend, the herb you reach for early, before things take hold. It has a slightly tingly, bitter character which is exactly why the licorice and spearmint are there to balance it out.

Ginger root: Ginger gets the circulation moving and brings warmth from the inside out, ideal when you’re chilled, achy, or run down. It’s also traditionally used to soothe a scratchy throat and settle an unsettled stomach, which makes it a natural partner for anything cold-and-flu related.  The warming characteristic of ginger is very useful for stimulating the clearing of congestion. Its active compound gingerol is one of the most studied constituents in the ginger family for its role in general wellness support.

Licorice root: Licorice root is naturally soothing to mucous membranes, making it a comforting addition when a sore throat is part of the picture. It also does quiet, important work in the blend as a flavour balancer, its natural sweetness softens echinacea’s bite so the tea is easy to drink, cup after cup, which matters when you actually need to drink it often to feel the benefit.

Spearmint: Spearmint adds a fresh, bright lift to the blend and gives the other herbs a clean base to sit on. Beyond flavour, it has a gently uplifting quality, a small thing, but a welcome one when you’re not feeling your best.

Calendula petals Grown and dried in Yandina Apotheca’s own organic garden, calendula blooms are scattered through the blend in small amounts, more for their beauty and gentle presence than for medicinal strength. They’re a reminder that this tea comes from a real garden, not a factory floor, and we like to think a little of that care travels with them into your cup.

How to use Remedy Cold and Flu Tea

Steep generously and drink frequently through the day when you feel a cold coming on or a flu working its way through the house. Add a little raw honey if you desire. It’s mild enough that our own kids ask for it – toddler and family approved.
