Winter Sicknesses - We’ve seen a lot of them over the past few months and they seem to be ever-changing. Some of us have one sickness after another and each one comes with different symptoms. Even the people that NEVER get sick are coming down with a bad bug. 

The weather has been very moody recently, 60 degree days followed by a threatening snowstorm, wind from the south followed by wind from the north, and a general eagerness for something warm and sunny to come this way.

Viruses enter the body through the wind of our environment. Read our newest blog “Wind: Internal or External?”, to learn about externally invading wind, as well as beneficial wind that is  generated internally. It’s an interesting subject!

You may also enjoy two of our recent IG posts on the subject of “Winter Wind Invasion” too.

“It’s a must in my house and part of our first aid kit. My family takes it at the first sign of cold/flu; the itchy or sore throat, the beginning of congestion, sometimes the full body sluggishness felt when something is about to hit.” - Kim Jones, Clinical Herbalist

Our Echinacea tincture and alcohol-free glycerite are produced from fresh, Nebraska-grown root, making them a potent and powerful ally for your body’s natural defense system. Receive Free Shipping with any purchase that includes immune supporting herbs. See our website for details.

Nothing is quite as satisfying as making your own herbal remedies! Have you always wanted to make a salve? Here at PSB we infuse pure olive oil with select, no-chemical dried herbs, letting them “cook” under warm lights for quite a while before straining and allowing to warm in a giant stainless steel pot. We then add organic beeswax into the pot to melt, continuously stirring, and then lovingly hand pour the herbal mixture into each tin. Every label and shrink wrap on every product is done by hand, one at a time. No machines here!

We love what we do here and value every one of you committed to supporting small, family-owned brands. Thank you!🍃

For a step-by-step, 6 minute video of our salve making process, see our YouTube channel and you’ll quickly spot it labeled “Salve Making Video”.

Types of Wind Invasion and Traditional Herbs
- Wind Heat -
Wind Heat has a lot of your classic sickness symptoms:
Fever
Sore throat
Sudden onset of symptoms
Has signs of heat - redness, irritated, stimulated
Green, yellow, or orange mucus
🍃Suggested herbs for Wind Heat may include:
Boneset
Yarrow
Elderflower, not berry
Linden
Honeysuckle
Violet
Elecampane

- Wind Cold -
Wind Cold is less common and difficult to identify:
Slow progression of symptoms
Sluggishness
Drippy nose or sinus congestion
Sensitive to cold
Low appetite
White or clear mucus
🍃Suggested herbs for Wind Cold may include:
Hyssop, not Anise Hyssop
Ginger
Cottonwood Bud
Astragalus
Elderberry, not flower
Lomatium
Culinary spices such as Thyme, Oregano, Sage, Rosemary

- Wind Damp -
Doesn’t this sound contradicting? Wind Damp is essentially stagnation of fluids. The invading wind causes (usually) lymph to slow down or stop flowing:
Damp can be paired with hot or cold symptoms
Swelling of lymph nodes
Congestion of sinuses or lungs
Sinus pressure
Lack of appetite due to lymphatic stagnation
Excess mucus production
🍃Suggested herbs for Wind Damp may include:
Lymphatic or circulatory herbs
Violet
Elecampane
Astragalus
Heal All AKA Self Heal
Cleavers
Chickweed
Pleurisy Root

There are many combinations of Wind that can happen in one body and more types than what has been listed, these 3 types of wind are simply the most common invasions seen during cold and flu season. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog with more details on TCM Wind Invasion.

‘Tis the Season of Wind Invasion, Part 1

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the season of Winter is full of “Wind Invasion”. What is this, you ask? It is literally the wind from our environment invading our body, but it is also the invasion of foreign entities (viruses). 

“Wind”, both viruses and the wind itself, likes to stir things up in the body, activating the immune system responses but also the nervous system. Have you ever watched a sickness travel through the office but not every person has the same symptoms? That’s because wind will affect us differently based on our constitutional strengths and weaknesses. Some people won’t ever get sick and that’s because they have a strong Defensive Qi or energy.

Luckily, a lot of wind symptoms, both viral and environmental, will receive the same herbs to alleviate the invading winds. The question is, what type of wind invasion do you have? 3 of the most common wind invasion types seen during cold and flu season are: Wind Heat, Wind Cold, Wind Damp

Later this week we will post the common symptoms of wind invasion and which herbs we recommend for effective support. Watch for Part 2 later this week!
