Immunity Booster

Blender’s Notes Immunity Booster:

Steep Me Self-Help combinations are a wonderful way to get health benefits beyond standard tea leaves. In this herb combination, we wanted to offer a blend of supporting herbs to help keep your immune system strong and give it an extra “Boost” if you feel like you need something initiative-taking, or a great recovery option if you’re not feeling well. This multipurpose blend can be used anytime, for any age. With so many factors that can harm your system, we wanted a tea that helps build your defenses. Genetics shapes your biological immune system, but supplementation can help support your body as it fights off different environmental challenges. This blend is caffeine-free, so drink it when you like…even before bed. While we cannot change your genetic Immune System, we developed Immunity Boost to support your environmental immunity, help keep things that may make you sick at bay, and indirectly support your Immune System. When your body starts showing signs of a nasty cold, like sneezing or congestion, or full-body flu, like chills and fatigue, you might be inclined to rush to the drugstore or your medicine cabinet for over-the-counter meds—which may or may not work. But too often we forget about nature’s remedies for fighting the flu. Turns out, sipping a hot cup of tea is not only comforting when you are feeling sick, but it may also help you overcome this season’s biggest sickness. According to a meta-analysis published in Molecules, tea may boost immunity and help fight both cold and influenza viruses. Researchers found that drinking tea regularly not only helps you recover from a cold but may also make you less likely to get one in the first place and could help prevent recurring or new infections. Tea is a noteworthy cold fighter thanks to its antioxidant quercetin, according to research published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases and Preventive Medicine. Quercetin acts as an antiviral agent, hindering viral replication of many respiratory viruses, including the influenza virus, they found. A separate study, published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, found that quercetin derived from a plant inhibits the replication of a common cold virus in its initial stage of infection. Grandmothers have touted the benefits of tea for millennia. Still, it is easy to forget that a soothing cup does more than satisfy you—science suggests it may protect against annoying, and sometimes life-threatening, viruses like the flu. What You Should Drink If You Have Cold and Flu Symptoms | The Healthy

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 protects the body from infection. It recognizes ‘invaders’ such as bacteria, viruses, 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 the immune system produces to fight germs that cause disease. White blood cells also help with other immune responses and can ‘remember’ the attack they have launched. This memory matters when the body is exposed to the same germ again. This also helps explain 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. 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 bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances in the body and fight them. Lymph carries them 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 swell when the body mounts an immune response. The spleen is an organ under your left ribs 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

This blend includes Licorice Root. Licorice root has several properties that can support the immune system. It contains antioxidants, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory compounds that help boost immune function. It contains antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals; it has been shown to have antiviral and antibacterial properties, which can help prevent and manage infections; it can reduce inflammation, which is important for maintaining a healthy immune response; and it can increase immune organ weight and cell population, activate immune cells, and stimulate the secretion of anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting pro-inflammatory proteins, which is so helpful if you come across someone who is sick.     We also included Honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is also known for its immune-boosting and antiviral properties. It contains antioxidants, flavonoids, and essential amino acids that help enhance the immune system. Honeysuckle can stimulate the production and activity of immune cells, such as white blood cells, which play a crucial role in defending the body against pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Next, we added Strawberry Leaves because they are often overlooked but offer several health benefits, including boosting immunity. They are rich in vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that supports immune function by enhancing the production and function of white blood cells. This helps the body fight off infections and chronic diseases. In addition to vitamin C, strawberry leaves contain other antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that contribute to overall health. You can enjoy them in various forms, such as teas or extracts, to help support your immune system. Spearmint was also included. Spearmint is a great herb for boosting immunity! It contains antioxidants, vitamins, and essential nutrients that help support the immune system. Spearmint is rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, which can strengthen your immune response. Vitamin C is crucial for immune health, and spearmint contains a good amount. Spearmint has anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce inflammation and support overall health. Spearmint has antimicrobial properties that can help fight off infections. Finally, we added Solomon’s Seal. Solomon’s Seal is a medicinal herb known for its adaptogenic properties, which help the body adapt to stress and boost overall resilience. Regular consumption of Solomon’s Seal tea can enhance the immune system by nourishing tissues and body membranes.
