Every autumn starts the 8 or more months of cool and cold weather, sometimes dry though most of the time wet, wet in the Great Northwest. To combat the cold weather and ‘flu season I turn to teas. I’ll admit that I’m not tough enough to make real green tea. I hate it. My mother used to make me drink it when I had a cold and it only succeeded in making me feel nauseated.
I do love tea though and have looked for boxed teas that seem to have health benefits. A couple of years ago while trying to fight the bugs that went around the school and back again I tried the Organic Echinacea Plus tea by Traditional Medicinals. I loved it! It didn’t taste horrible. In fact it was quite soothing for my ever-sore throat. Echinacea is supposed to support the immune system. By boosting your immune system you can shorten or prevent colds. Though please remember that this review nor the information provided by their website should not substitute for medical care needed during a severe illness. Also if you suffer from a rag weed allergy this may not be the tea for you as it may be irritating. But from one hippy to another I’d recommend it if you are rather picky about how your tea tastes.
