Your Herbal Winter defence, in a Bottle 🍒🫐🍒🫒

The nip in the air is a reminder that it’s time to fortify our immune-systems. Winter Tonic is my favourite blend of herbal allies to support you through the colder months. Each bottle contains:

🍇 Elderberry: The queen of winter remedies! Elderberry is renowned for its immune-modulating properties. It’s rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, working to support your body’s natural defence systems. Think of it as your first line of support.

🌿 Echinacea: The great immune activator. This beautiful herb doesn’t so much fight for you as it rallys your own troops. It helps to stimulate the immune response, encouraging your body’s own immune system to do what it does best.  

🔥 Ginger: The warming circulatory. Ginger brings the fire, helping to stimulate circulation and disperse that warmth to your extremities. It’s also a classic for soothing the digestive system and easing any tension – a great multi-tasker for when you’re feeling under the weather. 

🌹 Rosehip: The nurturing nourisher!  Rosehip contains high levels of Vitamin C and bioflavonoids, which are crucial for overall immune health and tissue repair. 

This tonic is crafted for both prevention and active support. Take it daily to build resilience, or more frequently at the first sign of illness
