As the crisp air rolls in and the leaves start to turn, our bodies much like nature begin to adjust. Fall is a season of change, and that means it’s time to give our immune system a little extra love.
We believe in using nature’s most powerful herbs to help you stay balanced, grounded, and glowing from the inside out. Here are 10 of our favorite herbs to help strengthen your immune system and keep you well all season long.
Elderberry
Elderberry is one of nature’s strongest immune boosters, packed with antioxidants and Vitamin C. It helps shorten the duration of colds and flu while fighting inflammation. Elderberry syrup or tea is a must for your wellness shelf this fall.
Echinacea
Known for activating white blood cells, echinacea helps your body fight off colds and infections. Sip it at the first sign of a sniffle for an immune-boosting kickstart.
Ginger
The ultimate comfort ingredient! Ginger promotes circulation, aids digestion, and helps fend off infections. Its spicy-sweet flavor brings warmth to any cup, especially when paired with lemon, hibiscus or turmeric.
Turmeric
This golden root supports immune and joint health. Combine it with black pepper, ginger, and hibiscus for an extra powerful, antioxidant-rich infusion.
Thyme
A cozy kitchen staple that doubles as a cold-season hero. Thyme helps fight bacteria and viruses while easing coughs and congestion. Perfect for those chilly nights when you need comfort in a cup.
Peppermint
Refreshing yet soothing, peppermint supports digestion, eases headaches, and clears nasal passages. It’s also one of our favorite herbs to blend for both flavor and function.
Goldenseal
Packed with antibacterial and antiviral properties, goldenseal is often used to soothe sore throats, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the immune system naturally.
Soursop
Rich in antioxidants and full of Caribbean heritage, soursop leaves help neutralize free radicals. Smooth, slightly fruity, and delicious on its own — it’s a tropical boost for your wellness routine.
Red Clover
A gentle detoxifier that supports hormonal balance and antioxidant protection. Red clover helps your body naturally eliminate toxins and pairs beautifully with mint or lemon balm.
Licorice Root
Sweet, grounding, and calming, licorice root soothes sore throats and helps reduce inflammation — all while adding a hint of natural sweetness to your blend.
