Ginger Root

Ginger root is a warming herb and promotes the production of saliva, bile, and other gastric secretions. Part of its benefit is that it increases peristalsis, the wavelike muscle contractions that move food through your intestines. It is commonly used for nausea, flatulence, morning sickness, motion sickness, and indigestion. Use caution if pregnant, have gallstones, or taking medicines to reduce blood clotting.

Elderberry

Elderberry is another very popular herb for supporting your immune system. Commonly used for respiratory illnesses, this herb has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. This berry helps to reduce congestion and stimulates sweating. Because of the compounds found in elderberries, you want to make this tea hot in order to cook the berries to enhance both the benefits of the berries and their taste.
