YOU’RE SICK. 😷
And honestly… so is half Brisbane right now.
If you’re dealing with a cough, cold, flu, or feeling like your lungs need a little extra support, these are some of my favourite herbs that I reach for 🌿
✨ Adhatoda — strong bronchodilator for respiratory & cough support
✨ Elderflower — expectorant (expels mucus); traditionally used for colds, congestion & feverish symptoms
✨ Lomatium — a strong antimicrobial, specific to the respiratory tract; traditionally used for immune & respiratory support
✨ Reishi — general immune & respiratory support, chronic immune conditions & support
🌿 And here’s the key: don’t wait until you’re completely knocked out.
With herbal medicine, early intervention can be important — supporting the body at the first signs of illness may be more effective than waiting until symptoms have really taken hold.
