Echinacea: Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia) is most commonly used for the common cold as there has been research suggesting it can stimulate immune cells. Echinacea may help increase the number of white blood cells in the body, which are part of the immune system and essential for fighting off infections. One particular meta-analysis comprised of multiple clinical trials concluded that echinacea decreased the odds of developing a cold by 58% and decreased the duration of the cold by 1 to 4 days.

Elderberry: Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) has been rising in popularity due to its immune system support. It contains high levels of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. One particular study found that elderberry can be used to lessen common cold and flu symptom severity and duration.

Ginger root: Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is commonly known for its many health benefits associated with digestive health and the immune system. It has been used for centuries to help with nausea, digestion issues, and inflammation. Research has indicated that ginger exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties due to its active component, gingerol. This means it can possibly support pain, cramps, and inflammation as well as support cardiovascular health, better blood sugar control, and protect against certain types of cancer.

Turmeric root: Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a great source for potentially boosting immunity as its main component is curcumin, which has been found to reduce inflammation, fight infections, and improve gut health due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Curcumin can also stimulate the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections.

Dried orange peel: Orange peel (Citrus aurantium dulcis) actually has about 4 times more health benefits than oranges due to its flavonoid content, which are antioxidant compounds that help prevent chronic diseases such as cancer and heart diseases. Incorporating orange peel in tea blends can be highly beneficial as the peel contains 3 times more vitamin C as compared to the fruit, which can help ease chest congestion and support immunity.
