Manglier (mong-lee-AY) Tea from Blackbird Botanica is a Creole cold remedy. Passed down for generations, this elixir was used by South Louisiana communities, including Traiteurs, Native Americans and Creoles, for years. The Manglier herb boasts anti-inflammatory qualities and may support the body in fighting infections. Native Americans were first to use the herb medicinally in the 1800's. Creole and Cajun communities turned to Manglier before prescriptions and antibiotics were available. Manglier's active ingredient is Baccharis Oxide, a multifunctional Triterpenoid. Triterpenes are described as anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antimicrobial.
