At the beginning of each year, each of us wants to make a positive change in our lives. To open a new page and do everything possible to make the next 365 days better than the previous ones. To put our plans into action, we need to be healthy. And our health depends on the state of our immune system. So we took a look at our DelmarTe Home Tea collection of loose teas and chose the best herbal tea to strenghten your immune system from it. In fact, not just one, but 4 teas!
Immune sysytem is our most important defense against viruses and bacteria. It can also prevent various cell changes that can cause serious diseases, including cancer. And of course, we shouldn’t wait to get sick to remember that we haven’t taken care of our immune system.
We have created the collections of DelmarTe luxury teas because we want to take care of ourselves not with remedies but with indulging in pleasant moments and sensations. Because we believe that with each cup of DelmarTe tea we can serve you exactly what you need at any time. And in winter, the most important thing is to support the complex immune system, in which all the elements must work in sync to effectively protect us from disease. And also to help us back on our feet if we still get sick.
Although we are in the middle of winter, we have chosen as tea of the month of January “Midsummer Dreaming“.
Our choice is on purpose. Immunity drops sharply when we are attacked by viruses, yes. But we are more susceptible to viruses when we are exhausted. From stress or other problems, many people complain of sleep problems. And it is no coincidence that many of us are looking for tea to improve our sleep or when we suffer from insomnia.
To relax in the evening after a hard day and enjoy a good night’s sleep, boil a cup of “Midsummer Dreaming”. This is a fragrant herbal tea that combines chamomile, lemon balm, mint, blackcurrant leaves and sunflower flower.
Blackcurrant leaves increase immune system and are especially beneficial for the elderly. Mint soothes and helps get better from colds, and sunflower flower relieves sore throat.
Mint and chamomile are among the herbs that have amazing, numerous benefits for the body. It is no coincidence that they are present in many herbal tea mixtures for immune system.
Mint strengthens the immune system because it has exceptional antibacterial properties and is rich in antioxidants. Among the substances it contains are Vitamin B, potassium and calcium, which stop infections.
Chamomile contains flavonoids that act as antioxidants. It is also beneficial for immune system, thanks to its essential oil and coumarins.
Both mint and chamomile help us relax. They can reduce anxiety not only in children but also in adults. They are even recommended for people who suffer from depression.
At the same time, mint and chamomile promote good digestion. When our stomach suffers, whether from psychological or emotional anxiety or junk food, both herbs will soothe it. Mint has a beneficial effect on gastrointestinal diseases, especially irritable bowel syndrome, and chamomile affects possitively disorders of the digestive system such as flatulence, stomach pain, diarrhea, ulcers and more.
Last but not least, mint and chamomile attack the symptoms of the flu. Mint can help lower the temperature and relieve respiratory problems because it relaxes the muscles of the throat and chest.
And inhalations with chamomile tea can relieve bronchi and sinuses when we suffer from flu, colds and infections. Sore throat is also treated with chamomile due to its anti-inflammatory effect. Sunflower flower also relieves a sore throat, and tht is why we included it in “Midsummer Dreaming”.
Lemon balm is also among the herbs in “Midsummer Dreaming”. A herb from the mint family, it has a pleasant lemon aroma. Probably its most famous property is to cause relaxation due to the presence of rosemary acid in it. Lemon balm is a powerful antioxidant, thanks to its rich composition of bioflavonoids. Among the most famous healing properties of balm are reducing stress and relieving functional disorders of the central nervous system, supporting the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract by improving the condition of those suffering from heartburn, bloating, colic, indigestion, relieving insomnia and other sleep disorders and reducing the symptoms of viral infections.
Or to put it simply – it enhances the already mentioned qualities of mint and chamomile and makes them even more effective.
When we add to them the most important property of blackcurrant leaves, also included in our tea, namely, to increase immunity, we can be sure that when we serve you “Midsummer Dreaming”, you will get a really high quality herbal tea to strenghten your immune system.
With our “Immunity” box with three herbal teas, we invite you to take a good care of yourself by following three easy steps: cleansing, preventin and healing.
For cleansing, boil yourself a cup of “Fast Detox” – aromatic detox tea. As we know, detox removes toxic substances from the body. They can be accumulated from an unbalanced or unhealthy diet. Our “Fast Detox” tea aims to help the main organs through which toxins are removed – the liver, kidneys and skin.
It is made of the fresh leaves of several potent herbs.
Blackberries help digestion. The vitamin in their leaves strengthens the immune system and helps to repair tissues. In “Fast Detox” we have included birch leaves – a diuretic for normal urinary tract function. The common bee supports the normal function of the liver and gallbladder. Strawberry and dandelion leaves help regulate metabolism. Dandelion also has a detoxifying effect.
For strong immunity, we made a mixture of herbs that are known to be its best friends in our “Immunity Tea“.
Echinacea can be used in the treatment of influenza and diseases of the respiratory tract. It is rich in antioxidants, it stabilizes blood sugar, reduces inflammation and has a beneficial effect on the skin.
Black elderberry, which is found in Bulgaria, is effective against colds of various kinds. As an antioxidant, it stops attacks on the body. Improves the action of the bladder and intestinal peristalsis, optimizes the function of the bile and urinary system. In addition, it balances the nervous system and has a complete cleansing effect on the body.
Salvia also strengthens the immune system and has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. It can even reduce depression. Garden nettle, in turn, is recommended against anemia, which is one of the main causes of decreased immunity.
Here we have mixed echinacea, elderberry, and linden blossom. Linden tea helps respiratory function, regulates sweating, leads to relaxation and promotes sleep. In addition to linden, however, we have added our well-known thyme. With its strong antibacterial effect, it is used against inflammation of the respiratory tract, colds, sore throats and mouth infections. In “Antiflu Cocktail” we have included mullein, which can reduce cough, as well as meadow, which has anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects and reduces heavy sweating.
