Heritage and Science
Throughout history people have used the plants around them to support immunity and to help protect against infection during the winter months. Plants like echinacea, rosehip, garlic, elderberry have laboratory research to show just how they work to support the immune system, for example by increasing immune cell production and antibody response.
For some of these plants, like echinacea root, astragalus root, elecampane root, ginger root, liquorice root, rosehip berry and elder berry, there have also been controlled clinical trials to show efficacy in humans.
Did you know?
You can take this tea to support the immune system, but to treat a condition with medicinal plants, you need to reach a medicinal dose. A medicinal dose of tea for adults is the equivalent of 2 teabags steeped for 20 minutes and taken 3x daily.
In addition, for effective treatment with plant medicine it is also important to take a prescription that is relevant to the individual and their holistic needs, taking into account all conditions and any other medication, and also monitoring the individual response, for which we recommend consulting a NIMH medical herbalist.
Caution
When taking any medicinal plant at a medicinal level, always first consult a NIMH medical herbalist or healthcare professional before giving to a child, if you are pregnant, have any medical condition or allergy, or if you are taking any medication. Do not stop taking any medication you have been prescribed without consulting your health care professional.
