European Elderberry / Black Elderberry Fruit (Sambucus nigra): Elderberry is the fruit of the black elder tree. Elderberry is an excellent source of vitamins A, B and C, as well as bioflavonoids and anthocyanins, which support proper cell functioning. Its properties also support the body's immune system. Elderberry extract was recently announced in a Journal of Science report to be an extremely effective remedy for some types of viral conditions.

Lemon Balm Leaf (Melissa officinalis): Lemon balm is a traditional botanical used widely as an antibacterial and antiviral agent. Also known as having antioxidant activity, Lemon balm is commonly found in formulas designed to support the immune system during chronic viral infection outbreaks.

Licorice Root(Glycyrrhiza glabra): Licorice has been used in ancient Greece, China, and Egypt for ailments of the upper respiratory tract. Licorice has antiviral and antimicrobial properties and soothes the body's mucous membranes including those found in the throat. It also supports proper functioning of the adrenal gland during times of illness and stress.

Lomatium Root (Lomatium dissectum): The root of the Lomatium dissectum plant has been used extensively by the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest and Northern Nevada where it grows. It is used primarily for pathogenic upper respiratory conditions due to its antiviral and antibacterial properties. Lomatium is also commonly found in formulas designed to support the immune system during chronic viral infection outbreaks.

Red Root (Ceanothus americanus): Red root has been historically used to stimulate lymph and inter-tissue fluid circulation, which supports proper function of the immune system.

Usnea Lichen Whole Plant(Usnea barbata): Usnea contains usnic acid, a natural antibiotic proven effective against gram positive bacterial conditions affecting the breathing passages and lungs.

Wild Indigo Root (Baprisia tinctoria): Wild indigo is traditionally used for its antimicrobial action on focused infections, particularly of the ear, nose and throat. Wild Indigo is believed to help liquefy phlegm and support its drainage. It also stimulates lymph and inter-tissue fluid circulation, which supports proper function of the immune system.

Yerba Mansa Root (Anemopsis californica): Yerba Mansa has been used for centuries for poorly healing infections of the mouth. It has similar properties to the commonly used herb Goldenseal, and although unrelated to Goldenseal chemically or botanically, it can be used similarly to support relief from inflammation of the mucous membranes, swollen gums and sore throat. This is important because Goldenseal, a popular herbal remedy, is in danger of becoming extinct in the wild due to exploitation. Yerba Mansa is also used for its antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Yerba Santa Leaf (Eriodictyon californicum): This traditional Native American herb is used to support the loosening and release of phlegm and the opening of the bronchial passages.
