Allergy Season Tea Guide: Best Teas For Congestion, Sinus Support And Sore Throats<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Winter delivers relief to many of those who suffer from seasonal allergies. Plants lie dormant, their pollen locked up inside pine cones and tiny flower buds on bare branches. Along Colorado\u2019s Front Range, widespread broadcasting of pollen doesn\u2019t normally get started until April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this year, it\u2019s different. Winter barely made an appearance in Colorado. As we write in the middle of March, temperatures are hovering in the 60s, with forecasts predicting high temperatures in the 70s and maybe even reaching 80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ugh, say the allergy sufferers. Some of them\u2014the wise ones!\u2014will start reviewing tea options for contending with allergy season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others might get confused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToo early for pollen,\u201d they\u2019ll think, between sneezes and nose blowing. \u201cMaybe I\u2019ve got Covid-19? The flu?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perplexed ones may need to think again. Because while the volume of daylight plays a huge role in signaling to trees when to release their pollen, it\u2019s not the only factor. Temperature matters, too<\/mark><\/a>. And this year, the temperatures have already compelled some trees to start the spore-distribution dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steel thyself for the onslaught of yellow dust. And get ready for it\u2014with tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our favorite beverage can soothe sore throats, and calm hyperactive sinuses. It can open nasal passages, making everything feel less glued together. And some herbs, too, can bring about much needed calm\u2014seasonal allergies tend to put people on edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least in the American West, now is the time to start building a tea arsenal for allergy season. Because\u2014sorry, friends\u2014it\u2019s already here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a perfect tea for allergy season. This blend of eucalyptus, elderflower and peppermint works wonders on those nasty allergy symptoms. Peppermint provides a delicate sweetness. Elderflower brings quite a number avantages, including support for combating sinus pressure, drippy nose and irritated throat. And eucalyptus \u2014well this plant is famous for helping to unclog those stuffy noses, throats and heads. Pro tip: Add a little honey if the throat is sore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allergy Teas: Immortal Tea<\/mark><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n

You’ll feel quite a bit of vigor after sipping Immortal Tea!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This tea gets its grandiose name in part from a key ingredient\u2014jiaogulan. The potent antioxidant, a sweet-bitter herb from the cucumber and gourd family, yields adaptogenic effects similar to those people experience from ginseng. It\u2019s so revered in China for its vivifying properties that it\u2019s called the \u201cherb of immortality.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other things, consuming jiaogulan might help cool down inflammatory overreaction and mitigate swollen, congested and inflamed airways. Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine turn to it for lung support and to bolster the upper respiratory tract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Immortal Tea also contains ginseng, another powerful and widely celebrated adaptogen\u2014in this case, a root rather than part of a vining plant. To round out the blend, we also add peppermint. We highly recommend sipping our Immortal Tea during allergy season\u2014for sinus and congestion help, as well as energy and vigor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
