Seasonal Support: Your Sword & Shield

There are two ways we approach immune support during that season: nourish & stimulate.

Nourishing herbal allies help to strengthen, inform, tonify, and give resilience to the immune system so that when the alarms go off and there's a reason to fight, the system as a whole is ready to go. These herbs are generally nutrient-dense, immuno-modulating, and adaptogenic in action.

Stimulating herbal allies act like secondary alarms to the immune system. They inspire the body to kick its defenses into high gear and act to provide supportive antibiotic actions to the body.

So, what's the difference and why is the difference important?

Nourishing the immune system with herbs and mushrooms is a good idea all year long. Most of us get one or two of these allies in the course of our regular herbal relationships, and they are best when taken in a tonic fashion over the longterm. Like most adaptogens, their effects are cumulative and with time and consistency they are able to dig deep into various body systems to repair and rejuvenate. Immune nourishing allies like Red Clover Blossoms, Nettles, Chaga, Reishi, and Gynostemma are some of our favorites.

Herbs that actively stimulate the immune system and its many responses are not good for long term use. They rally the troops and tax resources quickly. During an acute situation, these herbs are just what we need. Over the long term, however, they can deplete, confuse, and disregulate the immune system making us more vulnerable and less able to efficiently handle invading pathogens. Immune stimulant herbs like Echinacea, Osha, Goldenseal, Andrographis, and Oregano can all be problematic when taken in therapeutic doses over a long period of time.

To help make it easier for you to build immunity daily and activate immunity when the need arises, we've crafted a duo of allies that we know you'll want to have around.

GREAT FORTRESS is a formula to help strengthen your everyday defenses and nourish your immunity on deep levels. 
GREEN WARRIOR is your go-to ally when symptoms arise and it's time to battle.
