You survived the holidays now you have to navigate cold and flu season. No worries-we have the tea to boost your immune system and keep you out of those overcrowded urgent cares with the latest virus de-jour.
Packed with goodness, all-natural ImmuniTea tea is bursting with elderberry, peppermint, green tea, and ginger.
But why? Let’s break it down.
Green tea. You know it’s good for you, but what kind of good is in your cup? Quality green tea has a high concentration of antioxidants and in particular, a compound called epigallocatechin gallate. Try and say that three times fast. What that wordy compound does is much easier to swallow. In short, it helps to reduce inflammation and potentially enhances the function of immune cells. The ones that battle pathogens and reduce the severity and longevity of those nasty bugs!
Mint is the next green on our list of immune boosters that help to protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals. Why do we not like, something free? Because free radicals are spinning with unstable molecules which like to make our cells unhappy and there for more prone to illness. Plus mint tastes great and eases stomach aches and pains.
Around 400 BC, Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine,” called the elder tree (where we derive elderberries) his “medicine chest” due to its powerful connection to health and healing. Small and compact don’t let the size fool you. These deep blue berries pack a power immune boost punch.
Last but not least is gingerol. It’s what gives ginger its umph. Besides its anti-inflammatory properties, gingerol helps ease common cold symptoms, like muscle fatigue and sore throat. Double trouble for those virus bugs keeping them at bay and easing their symptoms.
I prefer to fight off the flu than soothe it’s symptoms. My favorite way is tea of course! ImmunityTea is my go-to during cold season. It’s delicious hot or chilled. Pour a cup and help keep the colds away.
