🌱 Flu Away! – Our Family’s Go-To Winter Shield 🌱

Growing up at LinSisterHerb, Flu Away!, was always our secret weapon against cold and flu season. At the first sign of sniffles, my parents would hand me a steaming cup one in the morning to start strong, one at night to rest easy. This unique blend, hand crafted by our herbalist, packs powerful TCM classics into convenient packets.

No boiling needed: just tear open 1–2 packets of fine herbal powder, stir into hot water, and sip. The magic comes from ingredients like honeysuckle flower and forsythia fruit (to clear early heat), schizonepeta and peppermint (to release wind-cold), and platycodon (to open the lungs and soothe the throat) all working together to support your body through seasonal challenges.

Here are three ways it may brighten your days:
 🤒 Ease early cold and flu discomforts 🛡️ Support your body’s natural defenses 🌬️ Promote clear breathing and comfort

Try it simply:

• Mix 1–2 packets in 8–10 oz hot water
• Stir and sip slowly
• Enjoy morning and night for extra support

Stay warm and well this winter!
