Little Defender

A soothing, sweet-tasting way to let the plants lend a hand. 
Because even the littlest bodies deserve strong, gentle protection. 

As a mom, I know how tough it is to watch your little ones feel under the weather and how hard it can be to find remedies they’ll actually take without a fuss. That’s why I created Little Defender: a gentle, great-tasting tea made with time-honored herbs that support the body’s natural defenses. 

This soothing tea is a safe, effective ally for fevers, sniffles, sore throats, and general immune challenges. Whether your child is coming down with something or simply needs extra support during sick season, Little Defender brings plant medicine to your family in a way that’s both easy and enjoyable. 

Thanks to naturally sweet, mild, and minty herbs like peppermint, lemon balm, and elderberry, this tea has a gentle flavor that’s pleasant even for picky drinkers. You can serve it warm, cooled, or with a touch of honey (for children over 1 year old). 

Herbal Allies in Every Cup: 

Traditionally used to calm fevers and restlessness in children, Catnip is a gentle nervine that helps soothe irritability, promote sleep, and support immune response, especially when little bodies are fighting off infection. 

Cooling and comforting, Peppermint helps ease headaches, tummy aches, and congestion. It also improves flavor and makes the tea easier for kids to enjoy. 

A classic children's remedy for colds, flus, and fevers, Elderflower helps open the sinuses, reduce inflammation, and support gentle sweating to naturally lower fevers. 

Rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, Elderberries support the immune system’s ability to fight viruses. They’re especially helpful when taken at the first sign of illness. 

Known for its fever-reducing and antimicrobial properties, Yarrow helps the body break a fever, soothe inflammation, and move through illness more efficiently. 

Calendula is a gentle lymphatic and anti-inflammatory herb that helps the body clear infection and reduce swollen glands. Calendula also supports digestive and skin health which is important when kids are run down. 

Lemon Balm is a powerful antiviral that helps the body fight off infection while also calming the nervous system. Lemon Balm helps relieve anxiety, restlessness, and mild fevers. It supports immune function and digestion, while also adding a pleasant lemony-mint flavor. 

Mullein is a soothing lung tonic that helps ease coughs and supports the respiratory system. Mullein is especially helpful when colds settle in the chest. 

Suggested Use: 

Steep 1 teaspoon per cup in hot water for 10–15 minutes. Cool to a safe temperature before serving. Add a touch of honey or elderberry syrup for extra flavor and immune support (for ages 1+). Serve warm or chilled.
