Throat Therapy

Blender’s Notes Throat Therapy:

Steep Me Self Help Tea combinations are a wonderful way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. This combination of herbs helps the body manage the symptoms of a sore throat. We may not necessarily eliminate them, but we sure can help make them better. What is a Sore Throat? Is your throat feeling dry and scratchy? Does it hurt to swallow or even talk? Chances are you have pharyngitis—the medical term for a sore throat, an ailment that affects millions of people every year. While sore throats can happen at any time of year, they are most common in winter when viral infections like colds and the flu—prime drivers of sore throats—run rampant and dry air fills our homes. Most sore throats resolve on their own, but it can be a tough few days until you start to feel better. Knowing what can help quell the pain and when you need medical help can make all the difference. Sore throats have a variety of causes, but an estimated 70% to 95% of them are caused by viruses, including: Cold viruses, Influenza viruses (the flu), Mononucleosis (mono), COVID-19, Chicken pox, Croup (a barky cough common in children caused by an infection of the upper airways), Mumps, Coxsackie virus.  Other less common causes include: Bacterial infections, such as an infection with group A Streptococcus (group A strep or strep throat), Allergies, Environmental irritants like cigarette smoke or dry indoor air, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a digestive disorder that occurs when stomach acid flows back into the tube that connects your stomach and mouth, Breathing through your mouth, Voice strain (i.e. from yelling or excessive talking).

In this blend we started with Cinnamon, Ginger, and Cloves. Cinnamon is helpful for viral or bacterial infections because it possesses strong antimicrobial properties, thanks to its active components such as cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and cinnamic acid. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that provide pain relief caused to sore throat. Consuming ginger boosts immunity and helps fight infections that cause sore throat, flushes out toxins from the body, and boosts your blood circulation. Cloves have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. They can alleviate pain caused by persistent coughing. Cloves also help get rid of the itchy feeling in the throat due to a dry cough. Next, we added Honeysuckle. Honeysuckle has strong anti-viral properties, treats fever, headache, cough, and sore throat. Amazingly effective for the early stages of getting sick, especially as soon as you feel a little scratchy throat and is effective for upper respiratory infections and common colds. It has antibacterial and antiviral properties that can help reduce inflammation and fight infections. Self-Heal contains flavonoids, tannins, and ursolic, rosmarinic, and oleanolic acids, which may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It can help protect against viruses, infections, and chronic diseases, including diabetes and cancer. Echinacea because it contains several bioactive compounds, including Alkamides (also known as alkylamides), Glycoprotein, Polysaccharides and Antioxidants. It is one of the most popular ingredients for the common cold. Orange because it is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce throat irritation and swelling.

Peppermint was also added. Peppermint contains menthol and menthone, which can alleviate throat pain, runny nose, dry cough, and an increase in body temperature. Peppermint has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties that help fight off bacteria and pathogens that enter the body through the mouth.

English Ivy may be useful for the treatment of asthma, bronchitis, cough in children, and COPD. Anise contains cumarin, eugenol and linalool, bioactive compounds with antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action. These help to strengthen the immune system to fight bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It can be used in the treatment of coughs, flus, and sore throats. Finally, we included Red Raspberry Leaf.
