Description

Mom's got enough on her plate - who's got time for the icks? Congestion Rescue Immune Support for Pregnancy can safely be used during pregnancy and lactation to support a mother's natural immune response while soothing the throat, sinuses and upper respiratory system. This strategic blend of herbs is designed to ease in-the-moment discomfort and quickens recovery.

Updated formula! We recently modified Congestion Rescue Immune Support for Pregnancy. We reduced the alcohol content below 10% and added apple cider vinegar. As we recognize that more and more people are taking multiple tinctures during pregnancy, we reduced the alcohol content out of an abundance of caution to keep the cumulative levels at the safest recommended level. The taste profile has changed, so you may detect a floral/tart taste.

  • Soothes head and chest respiratory discomforts.*
  • Eases discomforts and quickens recovery.*
  • Coats and soothes sore throats.*
  • Promotes healthy mucosal tissue.*
  • Safe for pregnancy, postpartum and while nursing.*
  • Gluten-free & Vegan.*

While all our pregnancy, postpartum and children's formulas contain organic gluten-free alcohol — which is used to extract the herbal constituents and preserve the tincture — our finished products have as much alcohol as a ripe banana per serving.

Use Strategies
"Half of it is the awesome formulas...the other half is how you use them!"

#1 Fastest Effect Strategy - Volume: To achieve in-the-moment results, take one serving in a little water; repeat serving as needed. Think ‘enough volume here to get the job done’. Volume needs differ from person to person based on their constitution and the issue at hand.

#2 Move Thru-It Strategy - Frequency: To support optimal recovery rates, take one serving in a little water; repeat every 1-3 hours for a day or two then taper off to 3-4 times a day, up to 5 days in a row. Persistent frequency supports the body’s optimal response to a stressor.

Initially take the suggested amount in a small amount of water, juice or tea to taste. With familiarity, can be taken directly for convenience.

Consult a qualified midwife or healthcare practitioner before use. Not recommended for use in the first trimester. Contains <10% alcohol. Keep out of reach of children. Shake well before use. If you have a medical condition or take medications, please consult your healthcare practitioner before use.

Herbs in Action
  • Yerba Santa leaf: Eriodictyon spp. (californicum, angustifolium, crassifolium, and trichocalyx) means "sacred herb" and was traditionally revered in its native California for its powerful health benefits. Today it is used to support a healthy histamine response, promote optimal immune function, normalize mucus membranes, and calm runaway mucus production.
  • Echinacea Purpurea root: Native to areas east of the Rocky Mountains in the US, Echinacea purpurea supports the body's natural immune response and immune system wellness. Echinacea provides seasonal immune support and supports a healthy histamine response, promoting comfort during seasonal changes.
  • Elderberry fruit: Sambucus nigra has been used throughout history both as a food for its tart sweetness and as herbal support for wellness. Rich in nutrients, elderberry fruit supports healthy immune responses and overall vitality.
  • Elderflower: Sambucus nigra is native to Europe and now naturalized in parts of the United States. This light and delicate herb with honey-scented flowers makes it suitable for kids and adults alike. Elderflower supports the body's natural ability to eliminate waste and encourage a healthy microbial balance and immune response. It may also help support healthy body temperature, soothes sinuses, and supports a healthy inflammatory response in the sinuses during seasonal changes.
  • Mullein leaf: Verbascum thapsus has an affinity for the lungs and was traditionally used to soothe occasional cough. Its demulcent properties make it wonderful support for dry and irritated lung tissues. Mullein leaf supports a healthy inflammatory response and encourages healthy microbial balance and immune response.
  • Marshmallow root: Althaea officinalis can act as an expectorant and offers benefits including moistening a dry mouth, easing coughs, and helping to line and protect the throat. Marshmallow has been known to moisten and soften tissues and helps to maintain an optimal inflammatory response.
  • Ginger root: Zingiber officinale contains Gingerol, the main bioactive compound in Ginger. It's responsible for much of Ginger's medicinal properties. Gingerol has been known to support a healthy inflammatory response.
