How herbs support the immune system
No food, tea or powder switches your immune system on. What herbs have traditionally been used for is supporting the conditions in which it works well, and easing the symptoms when it is already busy. That means warming spices when you are cold and congested, vitamin C rich botanicals as part of a varied diet, adaptogens for the sustained stress that wears immunity down, and enough fluid, warmth and rest to let the body get on with it.
Tea. Our Immune Tea combines mint, citrus and ginger spice, the traditional combination for the season. Golden Turmeric and Lemongrass & Ginger bring warmth from a different direction, while Antioxidant Tea and Australian Bush Blush are built on berries, hibiscus and native quandong.
Cacao. Spark Dust combines raw cacao with reishi, a medicinal mushroom with a long history of traditional use as a tonic. Spirit Dust pairs cacao with ashwagandha, cinnamon and ginger, aimed at the stress side of the equation rather than the seasonal one. You can see the rest of the range in our organic cacao collection.
Bath. Our Vivifica Reviving Bath Soak is built on eucalyptus and tea tree. Steam and eucalyptus is one of the oldest congestion remedies there is, and a hot soak also eases the aching muscles that come with being unwell.
FAQ and further info about immunity tea and cacao
Warming, aromatic blends do the most immediate good, because the steam clears your head and the warmth soothes the throat. Our Immune Tea and Lemongrass & Ginger are the two most people reach for. We have written about this in detail in our guide to the best tea for a sore throat, cold and flu. If symptoms are severe or persistent, please see your healthcare professional.
No, and we would be cautious about anyone claiming otherwise. An immune system that could be boosted at will would not be a good thing. What these blends do is more modest and more honest: they contribute fluid and warmth, they carry botanicals traditionally used during the cold and flu season, and the adaptogenic ones support the body through the sustained stress that tends to leave people run down. That is worth having, and it is not the same as a boost.
Adaptogens are herbs traditionally used to help the body cope with ongoing stress rather than to target a specific symptom. They matter here because sustained stress and poor sleep are two of the most reliable ways to end up run down, so supporting that side of things is often more useful than anything taken once you already have a cold. Ashwagandha in Spirit Dust and reishi in Spark Dust both sit in this group, and our Relaxation + Sleep collection works on the same problem from the other end.
Some botanicals are naturally rich in it, rosehip and hibiscus especially, and both appear in our Antioxidant Tea.
All year, if you enjoy them. The seasonal approach is the wrong way round: the useful work happens in the weeks and months of ordinary life, not in the three days you spend on the couch. Making a warming blend part of your routine through autumn and winter is more sensible than reaching for one only once the sore throat arrives.
Yes, and for a sore throat it is one of the better things you can do. Honey coats and soothes the throat directly, which is a physical effect rather than a herbal one. Add it once the cup has cooled slightly rather than to water straight off the boil. All our blends are unsweetened, so there is nothing already in there.
