Autumn lung & respiratory tonic

Description

Breathe in and out. Expand and contract, receive and release. Autumn represents discernment: the capacity to take in, and let go; physically, mentally and emotionally; allowing us to ‘breathe easy’.

This herbal combination of elecampane, mullein, thyme, ginger and cinnamon has warming, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and expectorant actions. Excellent for coughs, blocked noses, congestion, excessive mucus and other symptoms of colds, flu, and sinus infection. Elecampane root is anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, giving it lung protective effects. Mullein leaf soothes the mucus membranes in the respiratory tract, and is wonderful to calm irritation affecting the respiratory system. Thyme adds an antiseptic, antispasmodic and tonic influence; and ginger and cinnamon are warming and anti-inflammatory. Kauri flower essence balances the heart chakra for healthy relationships and immune response.
