Herbs for Wildfire Smoke: Supporting the Lungs, Heart, and Nervous System

Herbs for Wildfire Smoke: Supporting the Lungs, Heart, and Nervous System

When wildfire smoke fills the air, supporting the lungs is only part of the picture.

Here, I share the three-part strategy I use when formulating an herbal tea for smoky days.

► Support the lungs. Learn why I turn to plantain, a soothing demulcent herb, to help calm irritated respiratory tissues and why recent clinical research supports its traditional use.

► Support the heart. Wildfire smoke has been linked to increased risks of cardiovascular problems through inflammation and oxidative stress. I explain why herbs like hawthorn and linden are part of my approach.

► Support the nervous system. The smoke isn't the only challenge. The worry and fear that accompany wildfire season deserve care too, which is why calming herbs are an important part of the blend.

I also share the herbal tea I formulated with hawthorn, hibiscus, plantain, linden, and holy basil to support all three systems together. You can get the recipe here.

Important note: No herbal tea is protective against hazardous air quality. During severe smoke events, reducing your exposure and using clean indoor air remain the most effective ways to protect your health.
