Make yourself feel cosy on cold days with "Herbal Health" - an herbal blend of seven plants known in Bulgarian tradition: Mursalski mountain tea, pine shoots, coltsfoot, thyme, oregano, raspberry leaves and rosehips. This combination brings together the distinctive mountain and herbaceous aromas of the plants with the mild, slightly fruity notes of rosehips.

The herbs in this blend have a long history of use in traditional home preparations, especially during the autumn and winter months. Mursalski mountain tea and thyme are traditionally used in preparations for coughs associated with the common cold, while pine shoots are used in homemade herbal infusions and syrups. Oregano, raspberry leaves and rosehips complement the blend's rich aromatic profile. In this way, "Herbal Health" brings together a variety of plant ingredients in an aromatic drink for cold days.

Seven Herbs Inspired by Bulgarian Tradition:

Each plant has its own character, aroma and place in traditional herbal preparations. Some of the ingredients are also known for the traditional use of certain preparations to relieve mild symptoms associated with colds and coughs. These uses relate to specific plant materials and preparations and do not establish a medicinal effect for the finished herbal tea blend.

Mursalski mountain tea (Sideritis scardica) - an iconic mountain herb of the Balkans, also known as Pirin tea. It is traditionally used to prepare an aromatic hot drink. In European traditional herbal practice, certain preparations made from the aerial parts of plants belonging to the genus Sideritis are used to relieve coughs associated with the common cold, as well as mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Its distinctive mountain aroma gives the blend its character.
Pine shoots (young pine tips) - a familiar ingredient in traditional homemade herbal preparations, especially during the colder months. They are traditionally used to prepare aromatic infusions and syrups. Their fresh, resinous aroma evokes a mountain forest and complements the other herbs.
Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) - a plant known in traditional herbal practice and associated with homemade preparations intended to support respiratory comfort.
Thyme (Thymus species) - an aromatic herb with a distinctive, rich and slightly spicy flavour. Thyme is widely known in cooking and traditional herbal preparations. According to the European assessment, certain thyme preparations have a traditional use for relieving productive coughs associated with the common cold.
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) - an aromatic plant widely known in Bulgarian cuisine and traditional herbal practice. It contains naturally occurring plant compounds that contribute to its characteristic aroma. Oregano is traditionally used to prepare herbal infusions and is associated with homemade herbal drinks during the colder months. Its herbaceous, slightly spicy notes complement the flavour of the tea.
Raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus) - raspberry leaves have a long history of use in traditional herbal preparations. They contain tannins and other naturally occurring plant compounds. In European traditional herbal practice, certain raspberry leaf preparations are used for some mild complaints.
Rosehips (Rosa canina) - a fruit traditionally used in Bulgarian cuisine and herbal tea culture. Rosehips are a natural source of vitamin C, although the amount transferred to the prepared tea depends on the raw material and the preparation method. Their fruity aroma complements the herbaceous notes of the other plants and gives the blend a milder flavour.
