Breathe Easy: 3 Teas to Support You During Allergy Season
If you’re one of the millions who struggle with seasonal allergies, you know that spring can be bittersweet—beautiful blooms and sunny days mixed with sneezing, itching, and congestion. While nothing replaces medical care when needed, many herbs have long been used in traditional wellness practices to help support the body during allergy season.
Here are three blends from Tiny Lotus Tea that may offer gentle, natural support when everything’s in bloom:.
1. SOOTHE
Oregano, Thyme, Tulsi, Mint, Bay Leaf
This bold, herbaceous blend is packed with ingredients traditionally used to support respiratory health. Oregano and thyme both contain natural compounds with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, and they’re often used to help open up the airways and soothe irritation. Tulsi (Holy Basil) is known in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to calm the immune system and support respiratory function. Mint brings a refreshing coolness that may help clear sinuses, while bay leaf offers gentle antioxidant support. This is the blend to reach for when you’re feeling stuffy or under the weather.
2. DIGEST
Chamomile, Lemon Peel, Fennel, Ginger, Mint, Cardamom, Turmeric, Star Anise, Black Pepper
While DIGEST is our go-to for post-meal comfort, several of its ingredients also shine during allergy season. Chamomile is known for its calming properties and has been studied for its natural antihistamine effects. Ginger and turmeric are anti-inflammatory powerhouses that may help reduce overall inflammation in the body—including the inflammation that can come from allergic responses. Fennel and peppermint may help soothe the throat and calm the digestive system, which can be impacted by allergy medications. Plus, black pepper enhances the bioavailability of turmeric, amplifying its effects.
Rooibos, Apple Bits, Cinnamon, 100% Natural Apple Flavor
This naturally caffeine-free blend is sweet, smooth, and perfect for allergy season. The star ingredient, rooibos, is rich in quercetin—a powerful plant compound that’s often used as a natural alternative to antihistamines. Quercetin helps stabilize mast cells and reduce histamine release, which may help lessen symptoms like sneezing, itching, and congestion. Cinnamon adds warmth and gentle antimicrobial support, while apple gives it a light, fruity finish. If you’re looking for a daily tea to sip for both comfort and seasonal support, this is it.
🌱 Whether you’re managing mild symptoms or just want to give your body extra support this season, these blends can help you breathe a little easier—naturally.
