Allergy Support Herbal Tea | Allergies & Hayfever

Nettle and elderflower are the herbs most associated with hayfever season in British practice, and Baikal skullcap is the Chinese equivalent. Allergy Support Tea contains all three with yarrow, plantain,
liquorice root and peppermint.

Herbalists have always begun seasonal preparations before the season rather than during it, usually two to four weeks ahead. Tree pollen runs from late March to mid-May in the United Kingdom, grass from mid-May through July, and weed pollen from June into September.

We suggest enjoying 1 cup in the morning after breakfast and another cup after lunch. For regular seasonal support, 1 - 2 cups a day work well, though you can safely drink up to 3 cups per day during peak pollen periods.

This tea has been created by our Medical Herbalists to help soothe your upper respiratory tract, ease sinus pressure, and support your body's natural defenses against environmental particles like pollen, pet dander, and household dust.

Yes, this functional blend contains targeted herbs that work together to tone the mucosa lining in the nasal passages, ease mucus build-up, and calm the itchy, irritated sensations often triggered by high pollen counts or indoor dust.

This specific blend contains certain concentrated botanicals that are not recommended for children under 12 years of age. If you would like to support a younger child, we recommend booking a personalized consultation with one of our Medical Herbalists, who can formulate a gentle, bespoke blend just for them. Please reach out to us at info@zenmaitri.com for guidance.

If you are taking any regular prescribed medications, we recommend checking with your doctor or contacting our team of Medical Herbalists before use, as certain active botanicals can interact with standard pharmaceutical therapies.

No, this functional infusion contains herbs that are not suitable during pregnancy or lactation.

We choose loose-leaf cuts because standard paper tea bags often use finely ground herbal dust that quickly loses its volatile benefits. Many bags also contain hidden plastics, glues, or bleaches. Loose herbs keep the active plant compounds intact and encourage a more traditional, mindful brewing practice.

Put one teaspoon of loose herbs into an infuser cup or teapot and pour freshly boiled water over them. Cover while it steeps for 10 - 15 minutes so the beneficial oils don't escape with the steam. Strain, let it cool slightly, and enjoy.

A 50g tin provides approximately 30 servings, depending on how strong you like your tea. Because our loose roots and leaves are in their whole form, you can easily brew the same portion of herbs a second time for another cup.

Yes, this blend is entirely caffeine-free and can be enjoyed throughout the day without affecting your energy levels or sleep patterns.

While the active botanical compounds remain stable if the tea cools down, our medical herbalists recommend drinking it warm. Warm liquids support healthy local circulation and are much gentler on sensitive internal systems, helping you get the most comfort from the herbs.

The tea is built on nettle and elderflower; the capsules lead on eyebright and are the fuller seven-herb formula for the eyes; the tincture acts fastest. Many people take the capsules daily and drink the tea
through the worst weeks.
