❄️ Winter Tonic — Cold & Flu Season Defence

🌿 Overview

Winter Tonic is a deeply cleansing, infection-fighting blend formulated to support the lungs, sinuses, throat, and immune system.
This recipe draws from old herbal traditions designed to clear congestion, fight pathogens, and restore vitality during the colder months.
It’s particularly effective for lingering coughs, chest tightness, or when the immune system needs a sharp, natural boost.

🧪 Ingredients and Their Roles

🌸 Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)
A gentle expectorant and demulcent, Mullein loosens stubborn mucus while soothing irritated airways.
It promotes deep, easy breathing and helps clear the lungs of phlegm after infection.

🌿 Plantain (Plantago major)
Known for its cooling and anti-inflammatory qualities, Plantain calms the mucous membranes of the throat and lungs.
It eases dry or scratchy coughs and helps heal inflamed tissue from within.

🌿 White Horehound (Marrubium vulgare)
A classic respiratory herb that encourages productive coughing.
It reduces mucus buildup while stimulating healthy expectoration — helping the lungs to cleanse themselves naturally.

🌰 Black Walnut (Juglans nigra)
Rich in natural iodine and tannins, Black Walnut offers powerful antifungal and antimicrobial support.
It helps combat stubborn infections and supports digestive and immune balance when the body is under stress.

🌿 Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
Traditionally valued for its antiparasitic and bitter-tonic actions.
In this formula, it supports the liver and lymphatic system — assisting the body’s natural detox pathways while discouraging microbial overgrowth.

🌺 Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum)
A natural analgesic and antiseptic, Cloves soothe sore throats and quiet chest irritation.
Their eugenol content provides a mild numbing effect while fighting bacteria and viruses at the site of infection.

💧 Traditional Uses and Effects

  • Clears mucus and congestion from the lungs and throat

  • Eases sore throats and respiratory discomfort

  • Supports immune response during infection

  • Assists the body’s natural detoxification

  • Restores strength and vitality during recovery

🩸 How to Get The Most out of the Tincture

For fast, effective relief, take 5 mL (about a teaspoon) of tincture and hold it at the back of your throat for 3–5 minutes before swallowing.
The direct contact allows the Clove and Wormwood compounds to numb pain and fight infection right where it starts.
When you swallow, take a slow deep breath through your nose — this draws the vapours into the sinuses and chest for added clearing.

Take up to three times daily during illness, or once daily for general immune support.

⚠️ Cautions

  • Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

  • Avoid prolonged use beyond three weeks without practitioner guidance.

  • Those allergic to walnuts should not use this blend.

  • Always consult a qualified herbalist or healthcare provider if symptoms persist.

✨ Barb’s Note

“This one’s a powerhouse. I call it my winter warrior.
It goes straight to the throat, chest, and sinuses — you can feel it clearing and calming all at once.
Hold it, breathe with it, and let it do its work.”
