It's not unusual for my kids to start detoxing at the change of a season, especially when it's as abrupt as what we recently experienced. Runny noses, occasional mucous cough, lethargy...if you have kids, you know! Every fall I mix up several tea blends for them, and this is one of them to help support the healing:
Equal parts:
Elderflower: respiratory conditions
Echinacea: drying antiviral
Yarrrow: viral infections and fever
Peppermint: colds (use catnip if your kids are younger than 4yo, and remove the echinacea)
Today I added a little adrographis powder, but I will warn you it's very bitter and not every kid can just slug it down. It's called the "king of bitters"! It's known an immunostimulant and detoxifier, and according to Sebastian Pole, is Scandinavia's most popular herbal flu remedy.
