Cold and Flu Herbal Tea: herbal infusion to help with colds

A synergy of seven plants to help with colds

Cold weather, seasonal fatigue, and minor colds can disrupt our daily comfort. Our cold and flu herbal tea combines seven complementary plants, selected for their traditional use in herbal medicine during periods of cold — whether in winter or during an unusually cool summer.

Wild Thyme (Thymus serpyllum): With a milder fragrance than classic thyme, wild thyme is valued in herbal medicine for its soothing effect on the throat and respiratory passages, particularly in cases of cough or irritation. Its pleasant flavor makes it a plant well-tolerated by the whole family, including children.

Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis): Rich in mucilage, marshmallow root has long been recognized for its softening effect on irritated throats and dry coughs — a valuable ally during a cold.

Linden (Tilia cordata): Linden is a comforting plant par excellence, appreciated for its calming effect at the end of the day. In case of a cold, it readily accompanies moments of rest and promotes a general sense of relaxation.

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra): Rich in antioxidants, elderberry flowers support the body during colds and provide welcome respiratory comfort.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe): A warming and tonic root, ginger warms the body from within, particularly appreciated during colds and seasonal fatigue. It is also known for its role in digestive comfort.

Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum): Used for centuries in herbal medicine, Ceylon cinnamon warms the body and adds a gourmet and comforting note to the infusion, particularly welcome during colds.

Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis): Sweet orange peel brings a sunny and slightly tart note that mellows the infusion. It naturally contains vitamin C, a nutrient that contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Together, these seven plants form a synergy designed to gently support minor colds, provide comfort and warmth, whatever the season.

Situations where this herbal tea can be particularly enjoyed

• At the first shivers or a runny nose
• In winter, during seasonal changes
• In summer, after catching a chill (air conditioning, swimming, thunderstorm)
• For a warm and comforting moment at the end of the day
• As part of a winter comfort routine

Plants from passionate small producers

We work mainly with small Polish producers committed to agriculture that respects plants and the environment.

Most of our plants are not organic certified, mainly because certification processes are often too expensive for small artisanal farms. However, this does not question the quality of their work or their cultivation methods.

Our producers favor natural and traditional practices, such as the use of plant preparations based on nettle or comfrey rather than aggressive chemical treatments.
