Recovery Tea; a compliment to antibiotic therapy following illness.

This flu season has significantly impacted families this winter. It seems that there have been so many families who have been sick with upper respiratory illnesses. Some of these illnesses have been coupled with abdominal symptoms or high fevers or lingering sinus infection and congestion.

It is no wonder that you may find yourself run down, exhausted and depleted in the process of your recovery. Antibiotics fight "biotics"- your body's biology. While these drugs are effective in eradicating harmful bacteria they do ravage on all bacteria beneficial and harmful. In the meanwhile, your doctor will not address how to "recover" from your illness other than to take plenty of fluids and get lots of rest. This advise is virtuous but there is more that we can do.

One simple addition is to drink an immune building and nourishing tea. There are so many wonderful herbs that have this ability. This tea combines the more common and well known herbs that have a proven record to enhance our immune system and nourish our bodies through their nutrient rich contents:
