Our favorite wellness teas for colds and the flu
Cold and flu season is here, and it’s time to get prepared. Don’t let your body suffer from the discomfort of cold and flu symptoms. While it may be easy to reach for a mass-produced box of green tea, ginger tea, chamomile tea, echinacea tea, or peppermint tea, you may benefit from trying something with a bit more oomph.Â
Instead, arm yourself with herbal teas that can help you naturally fight back against illness and that support you in staying hydrated. If you’re looking for a natural way to combat your sniffles, soothe a sore throat, or calm an achy body, these four herbal teas will be your best allies in fighting off the effects of cold and flu season.
Sniffle Slayer
Sniffle Slayer Herbal Tisane is an easy-drinking and soothing blend of peppermint and herbs to combat your symptoms. It boasts organic ingredients and is caffeine-free, making it perfect for soothing relief any time of day. The minty aroma helps clear your nasal passages while the herbs in this blend work together to ease congestion and soothe your scratchy throat.
Tonsil Tamer
Tonsil Tamer Herbal Tisane goes to work for you by easing an achy, dry throat while soothing your cold with slippery elm, licorice, and digestive aids. In addition to its other health benefits, licorice root can even help reduce coughing fits due to its expectorant properties. This hot tea also contains cinnamon which helps reduce inflammation throughout the body. Cinnamon also has the unique thermogenic property of being able to warm up those feeling chilled from their cold or flu symptoms.

Lemon Tonsil Tamer
Lemon Tonsil Tamer Herbal Tisane adds lemon myrtle to the deeply comforting mix of slippery elm and marshmallow root, creating a light and mildly sweet lemony taste. A native to North America, the slippery elm is well known for its profoundly soothing qualities. This tea has antimicrobial properties that may help fight infections, as well as anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm your throat. It’s also filled with antioxidants that can help boost immunity levels.
Pomegranate Detox
Pomegranate Detox Herbal Tisane has a decadent natural pomegranate flavor with dandelion, ginger root, milk thistle, and burdock root as some of its main ingredients. Milk thistle has been used for hundreds of years as an all-natural herbal remedy for liver health because it supports the organ’s natural detoxification processes.Â
Burdock root is rich in Vitamin C, which makes it perfect for boosting the immune system. Dandelion acts as a diuretic, helping rid toxins from the body faster through increased urination. This is an excellent way to support your body while you battle the common cold or the influenza virus.
