Wellness™ Botanical Lozenges: Daily Support for Immune Health

The idea for Wellness™ came during the early days of the pandemic, when many people were looking for ways to support their immune health naturally. Tracy, our founder, wanted to create something purposeful—lozenges crafted with organic botanicals, layered with complex flavors, and designed with intention.

The result is a blend that brings together four botanicals—elderberry, schisandra berry, rosehips, and lemon essential oil—each celebrated in traditional practices for their supportive properties and distinctive taste.

Elderberry (Sambucus Nigra)

Elderberries are small, dark purple berries traditionally used across Europe and North America in teas, jams, and syrups. Long appreciated for their rich flavor, they’re also valued for their concentration of flavonoids and antioxidants. These compounds support immune function and overall vitality, making elderberry a staple in many seasonal wellness traditions.

Schisandra Berry (Schisandra Chinensis)

Often called the “five-flavor berry,” schisandra is remarkable for its complex taste—simultaneously salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and pungent. Used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Herbalism, it is considered an adaptogen, helping the body adapt to occasional stress and maintain balance. Beyond its unique flavor, schisandra is rich in antioxidants and continues to be prized both as a culinary delicacy and a wellness botanical.

Rosehip (Rosa Canina)

Rosehips are the fruit that develops on rosebushes after the petals fall. Traditionally brewed into teas and syrups, rosehips have been valued for generations for their naturally high vitamin C content and antioxidant properties. With their tart, refreshing flavor, they contribute both taste and nutritional support to Wellness™.

Lemon Essential Oil (Citrus Limon)

Cold-pressed from the peel, lemon essential oil delivers a bright, citrusy note that balances the deeper, earthier botanicals in this blend. Lemon has long been associated with vitality and cleansing, making it a refreshing complement that uplifts both the flavor and the spirit of Wellness™. 

A Mindful Daily Ritual

Wellness™ isn’t just a supplement—it’s a small ritual you can savor each day. Each lozenge slowly unfolds layers of fruity, tart, citrus, and earthy notes while offering support for immune health and antioxidant protection.

At Essential Candy, our mission is simple: to craft lozenges that are both purposeful and enjoyable, created with organic botanicals and guided by care.
