Understanding Respiratory Health

Respiratory health encompasses the well-being of our lungs and airways, critical for the intake of oxygen into our bodies and the removal of carbon dioxide from our bodies. Issues such as allergies, asthma, bronchitis, and seasonal ailments like colds and flu can challenge this delicate balance. Exploring natural, organic, plant-based herbal remedies, opens a door to potential respiratory support.


Herbal Medicinal Plants for Respiratory Well-being

Herbal medicinal plants have a rich history spanning cultures and centuries, celebrated for their potential to support respiratory health. While it's essential to reiterate that these remedies do not replace professional medical guidance, they are gaining recognition for their potential to provide relief and support. Let's delve into some herbal solutions worth considering:


  • One of our big sellers year round is our Reclaim Your Lungs tea. It is a blend of herbs that contains plants that have been used traditionally to open airways, bring up phlegm, while coating and soothing the airways.

  • For those with Allergies, Clinical Herbalist Donna Troy Cleary has created two options:

  • Nah-Choo! Is a tincture made from plants with a long history of use for allergies, that contain antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties as well as herbs that can coat and soothe.

  • There is also a tea version called Vite-Achoo and Vite-Achoo+.

  • For Chest congestion, we’ve created Eucalyptus Chest Rub, a salve made from Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus): Eucalyptus is renowned for its long history of use in clearing airways and easing congestion. We like to refer to this balm as an Organic version of Vicks Vapo Rub :))
