Immunity
The “Immunity” category brings together herbal tinctures and dried herbs that Bulgarian folk medicine has traditionally used to support the body’s natural defences – especially in autumn and winter, when days are shorter and demands are higher. If you are looking for herbs for immunity, you will find both ready-made tinctures and herbs for tea here.
- Sambutsin – an elderberry tincture, known for generations as a winter drink;
- Astragalus – with Astragalus glycyphyllos, traditionally valued as a tonic herb;
- Ginger and Tonus – with ginger root, Tonus also with turmeric, for a warming effect;
- Mountain Tea, Geranium (wild geranium root), Anise, Yuglandi and Toxiclean.
Alongside them you will find dried herbs – elder berries, ginger and turmeric root, wild geranium, astragalus, eyebright, milk thistle and Sideritis mountain tea – for those who prefer a fragrant infusion in the morning or evening.
The tinctures are water-alcohol extracts with no added colourings, flavourings or stabilisers. They complement, but do not replace, a varied diet, enough sleep and time outdoors. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, talk to your doctor before adding a new herb.

The choice depends on personal preference. Sambutsin (elderberry) and Ginger are among the most popular winter tinctures, while Tonus combines ginger and turmeric. If you prefer a broader approach, have a look at the “Immunity” package with 9 tinctures. If in doubt, ask a doctor or pharmacist.
The tinctures are water-alcohol extracts and contain alcohol, so they are not intended for children without consulting a doctor. Keep them out of the reach of young children. For older family members you might consider an infusion of dried herbs, after seeking professional advice.
