Zen Maitri's Breathe tincture is a botanical blend to support your respiratory system. It's made with thyme, echinacea, marshmallow root, plantain, elderflower and elecampane root to open up the airways, promote easy breathing, soothe your respiratory tract and support your natural defences. This liquid herbal formula is ideal for fighting seasonal allergies and respiratory conditions, while providing extra protection and enhancing your immune system during the winter months.
Plantain
Plantain is an anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory herb that nourishes and soothes the lining of the respiratory tract. It is great to calm irritated upper or lower respiratory conditions like mild bronchitis, sinusitis, excess catarrh and coughs.
Elecampane root
The pungent root of elecampane is a warming decongestant, excellent for catarrh, colds, hay fever and bronchitis. It is antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and supports the immune system. It increases blood circulation to the periphery, causing sweating and helping to bring down fevers. It helps keep your lungs healthy and helps especially with irritating coughs and expelling excess mucus.
Marshmallow root
Marshmallow root is a protective, moistening, deeply soothing herb that eases respiratory inflammation and helps your body get rid of excess mucus. It’s also an excellent natural relief for sore throats.
Echinacea root
Echinacea is an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic herb that’s essential for stimulating and supporting your immune system. It boosts your natural defences against infection and also helps modulate an overly sensitive allergic reaction, in conditions such as hay fever and allergic asthma.
Thyme
Thyme works to clear your respiratory system and sinuses with its potent antiseptic, antiviral and antibacterial properties. It’s soothing on sore throats and coughs and a must-have ingredient for easing respiratory and throat infections.
Elderflower
The beautifully fragrant, creamy-white flowers of the elder tree help to relax, soothe and decongest the airways. They are also antimicrobial, making them particularly useful for infections, irritation and inflammation in the respiratory tract. They are a great remedy for teary eyes and runny noses.
This product contains plantain, marshmallow root, elecampane root, echinacea root, thyme, elderflower, purified water and ethyl alcohol.
Our Tinctures contain alcohol. Using alcohol enables us to effectively extract a wide range of constituents from plants. It also means that tinctures keep well - alcohol prevents the growth of bacteria and inhibits enzyme activity. Tinctures are easy to take and to carry around with you as you only need small amounts (generally of 2-3 teaspoons per day).
If you cannot or would not like to take alcohol in your medicine, please consider our herbal supplements or herbal teas within the same range and/or consult one of our medical herbalists so that they can devise a bespoke prescription for you. Please feel free to email us on info@zenmaitri.com if you have any questions.
When to take
We recommend taking 5ml before or after lunch and 5ml before or after dinner for a minimum of 7 days. Always dilute the tincture in water before drinking (see below how to make).

To enhance the benefits of our Breathe Tincture:
-
Stay Hydrated: Regular water intake aids in flushing toxins and maintaining mucus at a manageable consistency.
-
Restorative Sleep: Ensure 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, aiding the body's natural healing processes.
-
Nourish with Broths: Warm broths infused with garlic, ginger, chilli, and spices not only comfort but also provide anti-inflammatory benefits, support circulation, help fight pathogens and boost immunity.
-
Sip on Warmth: Regularly consume hot water infused with lemon and ginger, and honey if you’d like. This age-old remedy aids in clearing congestion, boosting immunity, and soothing the throat. If you have some fresh sage, thyme or rosemary to hand, add those to taste as they will also help.
-
Steam Inhalation: Engage in steam inhalation to open up the respiratory tract. A dollop of the Breathe Easy Balm can be added to hot water; then, with a towel over your head, inhale the therapeutic vapours to clear congestion and promote relaxation.
-
Limit Dairy & Processed Foods: These can exacerbate mucus production and further congest the system.
