Stinging Nettle (Urtica Dioica) is a nutrient-dense herb with naturally occurring minerals, flavonoids, and other plant compounds. Traditionally appreciated as a nourishing herb, nettle contributes an earthy, green character to the blend.
Marshmallow Root (Althaea Officinalis) is naturally rich in mucilage, a group of plant compounds that develop a smooth, gel-like consistency when combined with water. Traditionally valued as a demulcent herb, marshmallow root lends a soft, silky quality here.
Echinacea (Echinacea Purpurea) contains naturally occurring compounds, including alkamides, polysaccharides, and phenolic acids. Long valued in North American herbal traditions, echinacea is a familiar botanical in seasonal wellness preparations.

Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) contains naturally occurring menthol and other aromatic compounds responsible for its characteristic cooling sensation. Its crisp, refreshing flavor balances the earthy roots and softer floral botanicals.
Plantain Leaf (Plantago Major) contains naturally occurring mucilage, tannins, and compounds such as aucubin. Traditionally appreciated as a soothing botanical, similar to marshmallow root.
Elecampane (Inula Helenium) is a root with a long history of use in traditional European herbalism, particularly in seasonal herbal preparations. It contains compounds such as inulin and sesquiterpene lactones, and contributes a distinctive earthy flavor.
Rose Hips (Rosa Canina) contain naturally occurring vitamin C, carotenoids, and flavonoids, although their vitamin C content varies with processing and preparation. Their bright, tangy flavor adds a refreshing contrast to the deeper herbal notes.
Lemon Peel contains aromatic citrus oils, including limonene, along with naturally occurring flavonoids. Its bright, zesty character enhances the refreshing qualities of peppermint and balances the blend's earthier botanicals.
Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) contains naturally occurring compounds, including gingerols and shogaols, which have been studied for their antioxidant properties. Traditionally valued as a warming botanical, ginger adds a pleasantly spicy character to this soothing blend.
