Traditional Medicinals 0649004 Breathe Easy Herbal Tea - 16 Tea Bags

Breathe Easy is a complex and aromatic blend of herbal tastes - spicy-aromatic and cooling, somewhat bitter and astringent, and slightly sweet.

Breathe Easy is a comforting and good tasting herbal tea that temporarily relieves nasal congestion and stuffy nose associated with the common cold, hay fever, sinusitis, and other upper respiratory allergies, restoring freer breathing through the nose. A chorus of pleurisy flowers appears throughout North America in late spring, usually surrounded by a flutter of butterflies. Thus its common name is Butterfly Weed. The plant's valuable medicinal roots are harvested in the fall. We sense the return to perfect medicine will be found in nature...where it all began...in the simple and wondrous workings of the natural pharmacy of plants.
