How It Works
Andrographis
Andrographis is used in traditional medicine in China and India as an immune and respiratory system-supporting agent. Andrographis contains special flavonoids and xanthones that positively affect immune and respiratory functions. One major constituent, known as andrographolide, acts as a strong antioxidant and promotes a healthy inflammatory response. Research also suggests that andrographolide may inhibit the growth of foreign microorganisms that can challenge the immune system and affect respiratory health.
Thyme
Thyme is native to the Mediterranean region and Romans were known to eat it to ward off food poisoning. Thyme has been used for centuries for respiratory tract support, specifically for coughs, sore throat and expelling mucus. Thyme is particularly rich in vitamins A and C, as well as potassium, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium and selenium, plus it contains important phytonutrients, antioxidants and fiber. According to research, the active constituent, thymol, provides antioxidant and immune-modulatory benefits among others. Thyme's protective powers have led to its modern use as a detoxification agent and immune system booster.
Eleuthero
Chinese practitioners were using Eleuthero more than 2,000 years ago for respiratory and immune support, concentration, memory, and to build energy and longevity. In traditional Russian medicine, eleuthero is used to stimulate the immune system and increase energy. Eleuthero is an adaptogenic herb that helps maintain balance in the body. Adaptogens help the body "adapt" to environmental stress, including physical and emotional stress. As an adaptogen, eleuthero acts as a tonic at the cellular level, offers beneficial support for the nervous system, and helps the immune system combat foreign invaders.
Bitter Orange
Bitter orange contains natural compounds that support respiratory passages, including synephrine, which helps promote open airways. Synephrine possesses properties somewhat similar to the alkaloid ephedrine (used in over-the-counter decongestant preparations) in providing respiratory support, but it acts much more mildly in the body. Bitter orange also helps break up mucus congestion. Bitter orange is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to reduce excess phlegm and help relieve respiratory congestion.
Oregano
Oregano is traditionally used to support the respiratory tract, digestion, and immune health. Evidence shows that the Greeks used oregano medicinally, and written references to oregano date back to the 12th century. Oregano is rich in antioxidants and other compounds that defend the gastrointestinal and immune systems against unwanted invaders. Oregano also contains compounds that promote a healthy inflammatory response, which may benefit the airways and lungs and help make breathing easier. Plus, oregano may help the body get rid of excess mucus that can build up in the sinuses and respiratory tract.
Ingredients
Proprietary blend of Andrographis whole plant extract, Thyme leaves, Eleuthero root, Bitter orange fruit extract (standardized to 30% synephrine), and Oregano leaves.

High in iron and lime, black soil retains moisture, which conserves water. It also creates high yield. They also plant and harvest by hand and add organic compost.
