These tongue-tingling herbs support a healthy immune system response with a special affinity for the respiratory system.*

About Herbal Zing: If you're familiar with Fire Cider (a famous immune boosting vinegar preparation), you can think of our Herbal Zing as like a super concentrated Fire Cider with the addition of a special array of immune invigorating herbs. This blend really packs a punch, featuring roots, resins, lichens, fruits, and flowers for a vitalizing blend of immune supporting herbs that have a special affinity for both the upper and lower respiratory systems of the body.

Herbal Zing is zesty and warming, and a good blend to have close at hand for reinforcing health when the temperatures shift towards cooler weather. Herbalist Deb Soule says no home, especially during the cold, winter months, should be without Herbal Zing in their herbal cupboard.

Taste / Energetics: tingly, bitter, aromatic, spicy, reinforcing, warming.

When to reach for it: When the chill of autumn or winter gets the best of you. When you want to support respiratory health, including the lungs and throat. When traveling or spending time with larger groups of people.


Ingredients: Fresh Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) root^, Dried Bee Propolis**, Fresh Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) root†, Fresh Spilanthes (Spilanthes acmella) aerial parts in flower†, Fresh Usnea (Usnea longissima) lichen**, Dried Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) pepper^, Fresh Garlic (Allium sativum) clove†, Grain Alcohol^, Spring Water.

Plant Profiles:

  • Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) - This bitter, golden-hued root is well known for its immune system reinforcing activity. Fresh, organically cultivated roots add a full-bodied and vital aspect to this blend.
  • Bee Propolis - A sticky, aromatic, and resinous substance made by the original herbalists: the bees. A collection of tree and plant resins, Propolis is wonderfully reinforcing. Great for the throat.
  • Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) - Classic immune and lymphatic support herb. Tingly in flavor, Echinacea is a steadfast ally when you want to encourage a healthy immune system.
  • Spilanthes (Spilanthes acmella) - The leaves and flowers of this unusual plant are ‘sialagogue' in action, meaning they help with a healthy tissue moisture balance. Spilanthes is a fantastic immune and lymphatic support plant that tingles in a similar, but even more sparkly way, to Echinacea.
  • Usnea (Usnea longissima) - Usnea is a lichen, a symbiotic relation between a fungus and an algae. Usnea grows on trees in moist areas with clean air along the coast of Maine and is best harvested mindfully. Deeply supportive to the lower respiratory and immune systems.
  • Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) - This hot, red pepper warms us from the inside out, supporting healthy circulation and the immune system.
  • Garlic (Allium sativum) - Spicy, pungent, and full of sulphurous aromatics, Garlic has been used for thousands of years for protection and immune support. Garlic bulbs have an affinity for the respiratory system, particularly the lungs, where the valuable essential oils permeate and support clear, healthy airways. Immune supportive.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Grace ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the tingle but now I actually look forward to it — that zing hits the back of your throat in a way that feels like it's doing something. Been mixing a capful into warm water every morning, and my sinuses have felt clearer through this whole cold season.

Ellie ★★★★★

I take a spoonful at the first throat tickle and it clears things out fast, the horseradish and ginger burn is no joke. Not something I'd sip for fun, but as a respiratory boost it's earned a permanent spot in my fridge.

Timothy Z. ★★★★★

The zing hits the back of your throat immediately, way stronger than the fire cider I used to make myself. Been taking a spoonful every morning and my sinuses feel clearer during allergy season.
