*This post contains affiliate links to the herbs needed

Astragalus is a powerhouse herb for immune support, traditionally used in Chinese medicine to help the body recover from illness and build resilience. It’s an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body handle stress while strengthening immunity over time. Pairing it with ginger for circulation and warmth, plus other immune-nourishing herbs, makes for a fantastic recovery tea.

Here’s a deeply restorative Immune Reboot Tea to support recovery from a tough winter or lingering illness.

Immune Reboot Tea with Astragalus Root

A warming, nourishing blend to help rebuild strength after illness.

Ingredients (Makes about 4 servings):

• 2 tbsp Astragalus root (immune support, adaptogenic, strengthens overall vitality)
• 1 tbsp Dried elderberries (antioxidant-rich, supports immune function)
• 1 tsp Dried ginger root (circulation, digestion, and warmth)
• 1 tbsp Nettle leaf (mineral-rich, supports overall wellness and recovery)
• 1 tbsp Rose hips (vitamin C boost, anti-inflammatory)
• 1 tsp Cinnamon chips (warming, supports circulation and digestion)

Instructions:

1. In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil.
2. Add astragalus, elderberries, and ginger. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes (since astragalus is a tough root, it needs a longer simmer to extract its benefits).
3. Remove from heat and add nettles, rose hips, and cinnamon. Cover and steep for another 10-15 minutes.
4. Strain and enjoy warm. Add honey or lemon if desired.

Pro Tips:

For best results, drink 1-2 cups daily during recovery.
Batch brew and store in the fridge for up to 3 days—just reheat as needed!
If you want extra depth, try adding a spoonful of licorice root for a touch of natural sweetness and throat-soothing benefits.

This tea is grounding, warming, and deeply nourishing—exactly what the body craves when recovering from illness.
