Super Immunity Tea Blend

School has started! I don’t know about the rest of you, but a big thing on my mind is immunity. I gotta admit, I am dreading the winter. With two little ones in preschool I feel a bit like I am preparing for battle.  I have already started stocking my herbal medicine chest.  I have made fresh batches of my Immune Boosting Syrup and my All-Natural Hand Sanitizer. We are making sure to take our daily doses of multi-vitamins, vitamin d and probiotics. We have also created a new favorite family tea, the Super Immunity Tea Blend. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, boosts the immune system and knocks out germs! This blend is warming, sweet and delicious.  It is a nourishing infusion that can be taken throughout the winter to keep your family feeling healthy or can be taken during an illness to boost the bodies defenses.

The Herbs

Nettle: High in vitamins and minerals, this herb is a primo tonic for supporting the whole body through deep nourishment.

Ashwaganda: A nourishing tonic that supports a healthy immune response.
