BREATHE Tea | Organic Lung Tonic*

THE LUNGS balance the ability to yield and demand, give and take, hold on and let go. The lungs rule our processing of grief + trauma, + can be greatly detrimented by too much worry and sadness. When the Lung energy is out of balance, order + discipline are rigidly maintained, the emotions are kept under tight control, rules and routines become inflexible, and the body begins to stiffen up. Physically we are more prone to bronchial infections and sinusitis. Our allergies are amplified and issues like asthma and heaviness of the chest can appear. @adrianaayales . These are just some of many plant allies: 💚 ASTRAGALUS. In TCM, the lungs + the colon make up the majority of the immune system, hence its immune enhancing properties. Astragalus works by building up the Wei Qi (immune defenses) and is great for colds, the flu, any difficulty breathing (such as asthma). 💚OSHA. Sadly a plant that’s endangered, pls use *very* mindfully. Osha supports the thinning + expelling of mucus, very appropriate for dry, hacking coughs.  It increases oxygenation in the lungs, acts as a diaphoretic, which causes sweating + helps to break a fever. 💚REISHI. Its powerful effects have been documented in ancient scripts + in modern scientific articles for its longevity properties, particularly known to strengthen the respiratory and immune system. 💚MULLEIN. A remedy for dry, irritated lung conditions or a dry, raspy throat. The leaf encourages secretions in dry mucus membranes. 💚ELECAMPANE. An undiscovered adaptogen (quote me on this!) can be used as a respiratory tonic + to speed up the recovery for lingering infections. It‘s specific for respiratory conditions w excessive bronchial secretions, like bronchitis, + for irritation of the trachea, bronchi that results in persistent, irritable coughing. 💚CORDYCEPS. User for centuries as a tonic to soothe the lungs for the treatment of respiratory diseases, and studied to relief severe acute respiratory syndrome.💚NETTLE. A nutrient dense plant used for centuries to help with hay fever, asthma + lung congestion. . . 💚Share with a loved one who might need this info
