As the leaves change and a familiar crispness fills the air, so too does the need for an extra layer of defense for our health. At Love & Peace Wellness, we believe in nurturing your body naturally, and that's why we're thrilled to introduce our newest ally in seasonal wellness: Viral Defense Tea!
This isn't just any tea; it's a carefully crafted, 32 oz jar of herbal power designed to help you face the challenges of cold and flu season head-on. Our proprietary blend, an original formula from Amari Lott's Love & Peace Wellness Apothecary, is packed with potent herbs like Ginger and Mullein, traditionally known for their supportive properties.
Understanding Your Viral Defense: The Power of Ginger & Mullein
Let's dive deeper into how two of our key ingredients, Ginger and Mullein, may offer comfort and support when you're battling seasonal ailments:
Ginger: The Warming Warrior
Ginger has been a staple in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. When it comes to colds and flu, ginger's benefits are manifold:
Anti-inflammatory:
It contains compounds like gingerol, which can help reduce inflammation, potentially easing a sore throat and muscle aches.
Immune Support: Some research suggests ginger may help stimulate the immune system, aiding the body's natural defenses. [1]
Congestion Relief: Its warming properties can help clear nasal passages and provide relief from congestion. [2]
Nausea Relief: Ginger is also well-known for its ability to soothe an upset stomach, a common symptom that can accompany the flu.
Mullein: The Respiratory Soother
Mullein is an herb with a long history of use for respiratory conditions. It's often valued for its potential to help with coughs and congestion:
Expectorant Properties: Mullein acts as an expectorant, meaning it may help loosen and expel mucus from the lungs and respiratory passages, which can be particularly beneficial for coughs and chest congestion. [3]
Soothing Irritation: It's also considered a demulcent, creating a soothing film over mucous membranes, potentially easing irritation in the throat and airways that contribute to a persistent cough. [3]
Anti-inflammatory: Like ginger, mullein possesses anti-inflammatory qualities that can help calm irritated respiratory tissues. [4]
Imagine finding relief from those unwelcome seasonal guests:
Muscle aches that make every movement a chore.
Fatigue that weighs you down.
A sore throat that makes swallowing a pain.
A persistent cough and runny nose.
Throbbing headaches that disrupt your day.
Our Viral Defense Tea is thoughtfully blended to help you feel your best, even when the season tries to get the better of you. It's more than just a warm beverage; it's a comforting ritual that helps support your body's natural defenses.

The Reality of Cold & Flu Season: Why Proactive Support Matters
Every year, colds and the flu impact millions, making proactive wellness strategies essential.
The common cold is a leading cause of doctor visits and missed days from school and work, with adults averaging two to three colds per year, and children often having even more. [5]
During past flu seasons, the CDC estimated that influenza caused millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations, and tens of thousands of deaths annually in the United States. For example, the 2019-2020 flu season saw an estimated 38 million illnesses, 400,000 hospitalizations, and 22,000 deaths. [6]
These numbers underscore the importance of supporting your immune system and having comforting remedies on hand.
