Why these herbs? Specifically, this collection of herbs may be helpful for people who struggle through the blooming seasons.
Lemon balm (𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘢 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴) has wonderful research and historical use as an adaptogenic immune herb. This means it can bring balance to the immune system and especially the respiratory.
Stinging nettle (𝘜𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘢) has been used by humans for a long time, for various reasons. And while there is not an overabundance of “research” the historical and current clinical use of nettles to support the respiratory system abounds. It can reduce histamine levels which are often driving seasonal allergy symptoms.
Hibiscus is used in this formula to bring phytonutrients, flavor and color.
Lemon grass fills out the flavor and aids the gut, always a good thing. The oils in lemon grass can have an opening effect on parts of the body, such as the sinuses. In Eastern medicine, this herb is revered for its nutritive properties, and as a yin-yang balancer.
Lemon zest brings a fresh flavor of lemon to the entire blend.
All of these but the lemons are grown by us on the ranch. We do have a lemon tree in the greenhouse, but fruit won’t come in until next year.
