Herbal Allergy + C Loose Leaf Tea How To Use
Sip the Relief: Herbal Allergy Tea That Actually Works š¼
If youāve ever spent spring or fall in a fog of sniffles, headaches, and itchy eyes, you know that seasonal allergies can turn your world upside down. I used to be one of those people who popped a Benadryl every night just to make it through allergy seasonāuntil I came across some concerning research linking long-term antihistamine use to Alzheimerās. That was all I needed to say: no more.
That experience lit the fire for me to create a natural, effective, and nourishing alternative that actually works. This Allergy Tea is one of my favorite herbal remediesāhandcrafted to calm the bodyās allergic response and soothe inflammation from the inside out. Itās a blend I not only believe in, but drink myself every single day during allergy season.
Why It Works: A Herbalistās Blend with Purpose
Each ingredient in this tea has a reason for being here. I chose every herb carefully and prayerfully, balancing flavor, function, and nutrient synergy. Letās take a deeper look:
šæ Nettle Leaf*
One of natureās strongest natural antihistamines. Nettle is packed with flavonoids that stabilize mast cells (the ones that release histamine) and reduce allergic inflammation. Itās also rich in minerals that support overall immune health.
š¼ Goldenrod*
Often mistaken as a trigger for allergies (it's actually the ragweed that blooms at the same time), goldenrod is a secret weapon for allergy support. It acts as a decongestant and anti-inflammatory, helping to relieve sinus pressure and clear up watery eyes and runny noses.
š± Peppermint*
Soothing, cooling, and refreshing, peppermint also acts as a natural decongestant by opening up nasal passages. It pairs beautifully with nettle and goldenrod to ease breathing and calm inflammation.
šø Lemon Balm*
A calming herb that helps reduce stress (which can worsen allergies) while also offering mild antihistamine effects. Bonus: it's gentle on the digestive system and gives the blend a soft, lemony sweetness.
š¹ Rose Hips*
One of the most bioavailable sources of natural vitamin C, rose hips are key to reducing histamine levels. They also contribute antioxidants that help your body fight inflammation and oxidative stress.
šø Elderflowers*
Traditionally used for hay fever and sinus infections, elderflowers help tone mucous membranes and reduce excess nasal secretions. Theyāre gentle, floral, and bring a touch of elegance to this blend.
šŗ Hibiscus*
Not just prettyāhibiscus is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. It brings a tangy brightness to the tea while supporting immune function and histamine balance.
š Orange Peel*
Full of natural vitamin C and bioflavonoids that help strengthen capillaries and reduce allergic reactions. It also adds a slightly sweet citrus note.
š Lemon Grass*
Cleansing and refreshing, lemongrass contains quercetin and other antioxidants that help modulate allergic responses and support respiratory health.
š¼ Mullein*
A soothing herb for the respiratory system. Mullein helps open the lungs, reduce coughing, and clear out congestionāmaking it ideal for allergy season.
š Lemon Peel*
Zesty and full of immune-supportive vitamin C, lemon peel contributes to both flavor and function by helping to clear toxins and support healthy digestion.
šæ Astragalus Root*
A powerful adaptogen and immune tonic, astragalus strengthens your bodyās ability to handle stress and inflammation. Itās traditionally used to prevent allergic flare-ups before they begin.
šæ Rooibos*
Naturally caffeine-free and loaded with antioxidants like quercetin and aspalathin, rooibos helps reduce histamine release and calm allergy symptoms. It also gives the tea a lovely earthy base.
š± Ginger Root*
Warming, anti-inflammatory, and gut-soothing, ginger improves circulation and helps reduce allergic reactions by modulating the immune system.
š° Ceylon Cinnamon Bark*
Not only delicious, cinnamon helps improve digestion and circulation, and it adds a comforting sweetness that blends beautifully with the other herbs.
š Whole Stevia Leaf*
This is not your typical refined stevia. Whole stevia leaf is used in its purest form to gently sweeten the tea without spiking blood sugar or adding synthetic sweetness.
*All ingredients are organic.
How to Brew It for Maximum Benefit
Loose-leaf tea is always the better choice. Bagged teas are often sealed with glue and contain crushed dust, while our fresh, handmade blend ensures every herb is infused properly.
-
Basic cup: Use 1ā3 tsp per 8 oz of hot (just-under-boiling) water. Cover and steep for 10ā20 minutes.
-
Stronger infusion: Steep ¼ cup in a quart jar of hot water overnight in the fridge. This is my go-to method. Just strain in the morning and sip throughout the day.
Pro tip: Add local raw honey to amplify your allergy relief and bring out the teaās natural sweetness. Or mix in 1 tbsp of our Elderberry & Honey Tonic for a āchaiā vibe thatās both healing and heavenly.
