Gaia Herbs has launched a new line of plant-based respiratory health support products, including Mighty Lungs, Sinus Comfort, and Black Seed Oil. The three varieties will roll out across natural and health food stores nationally throughout November.
 
“With poor air quality due to wildfires across the West and other environmental pollutions, as well as COVID-19 cases continuing to climb, we have seen a heightened focus on respiratory health this year,” said Angela McElwee, president and CEO of Gaia Herbs. “For all of these reasons and more, people are increasingly seeking plant-based, natural wellness solutions to help support their lung health. For over 30 years, Gaia Herbs has been a trusted herbal brand connecting people, plants, and planet to create healing. We are thrilled to use our expertise in developing safe, trusted, and efficacious herbal products utilizing traditional herbal wisdom combined with the latest modern scientific expertise to create our new line of respiratory health products, especially at a time when lung health is so important.”
 
She continued, “Our new formulas provide effective, plant-based support before and during a respiratory challenge and also help people maintain lung health all year long. Like all Gaia Herbs’ products, consumers can have confidence that our newest products are assured for purity, potency, and integrity, and that each ingredient has been either grown with care on our Certified Organic farm in North Carolina or ethically and sustainably sourced from our trusted farm partners, ensuring the highest quality products to help people stay healthy.”
 
Gaia Herbs’ newest products are designed to provide a convenient way to support respiratory health year-round. 
 
Mighty Lungs. This blend combines adaptogenic and respiratory-supporting herbs to support healthy lung function and to help maintain long-term lung health, according to the company. This formula contains Mullein, Plantain, Schisandra, and Elecampane, which have been traditionally used as lung and respiratory tonics.
 
Sinus Comfort. This product contains a blend of respiratory and sinus supportive herbs including Yarrow, Plantain, Bayberry, and Gaia-grown Nettle. This blend of traditional herbs helps to maintain sinus health so that people can keep breathing comfortably, the company said.
 
Black Seed Oil. Also known as Nigella, this herb has been revered for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to support lung health and to help maintain the respiratory system. This single herb extract helps to keep lungs working optimally and efficiently, according to Gaia. Using only cold-pressed oil provides the full-spectrum of constituents, maintaining the plant’s natural integrity and balance, and keeping the extract as close to the original plant as possible.
 
As a reflection of its commitment to protecting the planet, Gaia Herbs uses eco-friendly, reusable, and recyclable glass material for the new respiratory product line packaging versus the single-use plastic packaging that is the standard for most supplements on the market.
