Blender’s Notes Environmental Immunity:
Steep Me Self-Help combinations are a wonderful way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. In this combination of herbs, we really wanted to offer a blend to provide supporting herbs to indirectly help keep your immune system strong. In our times of varied factors that can cause harm to your system we wanted to have a tea that will help build up your defenses. Genetics says how your biological immune system is structured but supplementation can help boost your body to help fight off different environmental contingencies. This blend is caffeine free so drink it when you like…even before bed. While we cannot change your genetic Immune System, our Environmental Immunity was developed to give your environmental immunity a boost to help keep things that may make you sick at bay and be an indirect support to your Immune System. What is your immune system? The immune system defends the body from infection. It contains a complex network of cells, chemicals, tissues, and organs. An underactive or overactive immune system can cause health problems. The immune system’s job is to protect the body from infection. It recognizes ‘invaders’ such as bacteria, viruses and fungi and abnormal cells like cancer cells. It creates an immune response and helps the body fight the invasion. When harmful germs enter and invade the body, the body produces white blood cells to fight the infection. The white blood cells identify the germ and produce antibodies to fight it. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that fight germs that cause disease. White blood cells also help with other immune responses and can ‘remember’ the attack they have launched. ‘Remembering’ the attack is important when the body is exposed to the same germ in the future. It is also important for understanding how vaccines work. Vaccines expose the immune system to a dead or weakened germ, or to proteins from a germ. The body can recognize and respond very quickly to any future exposure to the same germ. Each part of your immune system works in diverse ways. Skin is the first line of defense and helps keep germs out of your body. Bone marrow helps produce immune cells. The thymus is a gland in the upper chest where some immune cells mature. The lymphatic system is a network of tiny vessels that allow immune cells to travel between tissues and the bloodstream. The lymphatic system contains lymphocytes (white blood cells; mostly T cells and B cells). Lymphocytes try to recognize any bacteria, viruses or other foreign substances in the body and fight them. They are carried in a milky fluid called lymph. Lymph nodes are small lumps of body tissue in the groin, armpit, around the neck and elsewhere that help the lymphatic system to communicate. They can become swollen when the body has an immune response. The spleen is an organ under your ribs on your left side that processes information from the blood. Mucous membranes, like the lining of the inside of your mouth and nose, trap germs and allow your immune cells to catch and attack them. Immune system | healthdirect
In this blend we started out with Holy Basil. Holy Basil has been shown to enhance the immune by increased cytokine production, which are proteins that play a crucial role in regulating the immune system. The herb contains active phytochemicals, bioflavonoids, and antioxidants that function as effective anti-microbial agents. This helps in treating infections, particularly in the respiratory tract, such as coughs, sore throats, and chest inflammation. Holy basil is considered an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and restore balance. This adaptogenic property can indirectly support the immune system by reducing stress-related immune suppression. The anti-inflammatory properties of holy basil can help reduce inflammation in the body, which is beneficial for maintaining a healthy immune system. Amla Berries can help boost your immunity, prevents viral and bacterial ailments, including cold and cough, and help metabolism. Its nutritional composition also comes packed with a range of polyphenols that are known to fight against the development of cancer cells. Bee Pollen was added because it contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are vital to a well-functioning immune system. Bee pollen can provide extra immunity support by blocking the release of histamine, the main compound responsible for allergic reactions. Bee pollen compounds, such as flavonoids, volatile oils, and steroids, may reduce the impact of allergies on the immune system. Consuming bee pollen desensitizes your body to allergens, stimulating your immune system to produce antibodies that eliminate the allergic reaction. Skullcap helps to balance the immune system. This means it calms overactive portions of the immune system associated with destructive inflammation and boosts the immune system’s ability to fight off infections. Astralagus may increase your body’s production of white blood cells, which can help fight off illness or infection. is known for its potential immune-boosting properties. It contains active compounds like polysaccharides, flavonoids, and saponins, which may help enhance the immune system. Astragalus can increase the production of white blood cells, which are crucial for fighting off infections and have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can further support immune health. Douglas Fir Pine Needles are rich in aromatic resins, which have been traditionally used to fight infections and stimulate immunity. These needles can help in treating colds, boosting energy, and supporting overall respiratory health. Douglas fir needles are high in Vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports the immune system by helping the body heal faster from wounds, supporting cardiovascular health, and combating various health issues like anemia and allergies.
We also included Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is believed to modulate the immune system by enhancing the activity of natural killer cells, which are responsible for identifying and destroying tumor and virus-infected cells. It also increases the production of cytokines, which are signaling molecules that communicate with immune cells and help regulate the immune response. Echinacea was added because it is an herb known for its beneficial effects on the immune system. It can help your immune system combat infections and viruses, aiding in faster recovery from illness while it stimulates the production of white blood cells and increases phagocytosis, which targets and destroys invading microbes. Shilajit because it helps improve circulation and immune function. The antioxidants in Shilajit help boost the immune system by protecting it from free radical damage and through detoxification. By strengthening your immune system, Shilajit can help prevent illnesses and infections that could slow down your recovery time. We added Bacopa because it inhibits the release of inflammatory cytokines from microglial cells and inhibits enzymes associated with inflammation in the brain. Thus, Bacopa can limit inflammation in the CNS, and offers a promising source of novel therapeutics for the treatment of many CNS disorders. English Ivy because it has been shown to help reduce inflammation, improve respiratory function, and boost the immune system It has high antioxidant and anticancer properties. Mucuna Pruriens because it can enhance immune function by increasing the production of white blood cells (WBCs), which are crucial for fighting infections. Additionally, it may help inhibit cell-mediated immune responses, which can be beneficial in managing inflammatory disorders. Next, we added Black Cumin. Black Cumin contains substantial amounts of vitamin C. The special compounds in this help reduce swelling and strengthens the effect on the immune system, which may help reduce the risk of cancer. Black cumin safeguards the liver, helps expand tracheal muscles, and reduces shortness of breath. Shatavari because it can help improve your body’s immune response and system. Rich in antioxidants: Shatavari contains antioxidants asparagamine A and racemosol that combat free radical damage and support your immune system. Bio Cystek because it makes your body’s defenses stronger, helping you stay healthy. With its special compounds and antioxidants, it boosts how well your immune system works, so you are better at fighting off usual sicknesses and infections. Finally, we added Gotu Kola. Gotu Kola can fortify the immune system, both cleansing and feeding it, and to strengthen the adrenals. This plant has been used as a pure blood tonic and for skin health. It has also been used to promote restful sleep.
