Dr Kottas Organic Children's Tea, 20 ST

Dr Kottas Organic Children's Tea is particularly tasty for kids and contains elderberry, hibiscus and liquorice root from certified organic cultivation.

Elderberry (Flos Sambuci)

• The elderberry usually grows to a height of 3 - 4 metres, but can also grow up to 10 metres. It is characterised by its warty, unpleasant-smelling bark and large inflorescences with yellowish-white flowers, which develop into shiny black to black-violet berries in autumn. The main active ingredients of the flowers are essential oils, diaphoretic glycosides and flavonoids.
• Effect: Elderflowers have a strong diaphoretic and antipyretic effect and mobilise the body's own defences.

Hibiscus (Flos Hibisci)

• Hibiscus (also known as red mallow or karkade) is an annual plant that grows up to 5 metres high. The calyxes and outer calyxes are harvested and dried during the fruiting season.
• Effect: Hibiscus flowers have a typical pleasantly sour taste; the drinks prepared from them are thirst-quenching and have an intense red colour. There is no known specific medicinal effect, but in folk medicine red mallow is used to treat colds and circulatory problems and as a mild laxative.

Liquorice (Radix Liquiritiae)

• Liquorice is a woody, perennial shrub that grows up to 2 metres high. It has an extensive root system with a taproot. The bluish to light purple butterfly flowers are arranged in spike-like, upright inflorescences. The dried secondary roots collected in late autumn to spring are used medicinally.
• Effect: The glycyrrhizin contained in liquorice root has a cough-reducing, anti-inflammatory and expectorant effect. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi and viruses, which means that liquorice root can also be used to treat coughs and inflammation in the mouth and throat.
