As the days get shorter and the chill sets in, winter brings with it a wave of challenge, from sniffles and sore throats to stiff joints and seasonal fatigue. At Zea, we believe that nature provides powerful tools to support your immunity, ease musculoskeletal discomfort, and help you feel your best, naturally.

Here’s your go-to winter wellness toolkit featuring 5 of our top products to help you and your family breathe easier, soothe your body, and stay resilient this winter season.

1. Natural Vapour Rub

When congestion hits, our Natural Vapour Rub is a must-have. Formulated with a soothing blend of Australian native botanicals including: Eucalyptus, Peppermint Gum, Nerolina, Lemon Myrtle and Kunzea, this balm provides gentle relief from stuffy noses and tight chests - without the harsh chemicals found in traditional rubs.

How to use it

Rub onto your chest, neck or back before bed to help clear your airways and promote restful sleep. For your little ones under 12 months, simply apply it to the soles of their feet for a gentler effect. 

2. Refresh Shower Steamer

Turn your daily shower into an invigorating winter wellness ritual. The Refresh Shower Steamer releases a powerful blend of eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon myrtle, and kunzea essential oils - all known for their antimicrobial and decongestant properties.

Why it’s a winter essential

It’s like a natural steam inhalation that can help open the sinuses, uplift the senses, and help combat the winter blues.

How to use it

Unwrap the shower steamer and place it on the floor of your shower, in a corner away from direct water flow but where it can still get gently wet. Splash a little water on it to activate the fizzing and release the essential oils. Let the steam carry the aromatics while you breathe deeply and enjoy the therapeutic experience.

3. Immunity Lifestyle Blend

Support your body’s natural defences with our expertly formulated Immunity Lifestyle Blend, a potent fusion of essential oils including Kunzea, Lemon Myrtle, Nerolina, Eucalyptus and Peppermint Gum. This uplifting blend is designed to help purify the air, support respiratory health, and promote overall wellbeing during the colder months.

This blend is a winter essential as when we spend more time indoors and are more exposed to airborne germs. The antibacterial, antiviral, and decongestant properties of these essential oils help reduce the spread of seasonal bugs, ease congestion, and promote easier breathing. It can also provide mental clarity and an emotional lift when cold weather can leave you feeling heavy or sluggish - making it a versatile go-to for daily immune support and seasonal balance.

Use it to:

• Diffuse in your living room or bedroom to purify the air
  

• Add a few drops to a bowl of hot water for a DIY steam inhalation
  

• Apply diluted to the chest or soles of the feet for immune support

4. Manuka Honey

Winter is prime time for sore throats, dry coughs, and immune challenges — and our premium Australian Manuka Honey (MGO 200+) is a delicious way to support your body through it all. Unlike regular honey, Manuka Honey is rich in methylglyoxal (MGO), a naturally occurring compound that gives it powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Not only does it help soothe irritated throats and calm dry coughs, but it also plays a key role in supporting the immune system. Manuka Honey has been shown to enhance the body’s natural ability to fight off bacteria and infections, making it an ideal winter wellness staple. It also supports gut health, which is closely linked to overall immunity - helping you stay well from the inside out.

Whether you’re feeling run-down or just looking to maintain daily wellness, a spoonful of Manuka Honey is a gentle, natural way to nourish your body and protect against seasonal bugs.

Ways to enjoy it

• Stir into herbal tea for a soothing bedtime drink.
  

• Take a spoonful daily to support immunity.
  

• Mix with lemon and warm water to ease throat discomfort.
  

5. Kunzea Pain Relief Cream

Colder weather often leads to stiff joints, tight muscles, and a worsening of chronic pain - especially for those managing musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, back pain, or general joint discomfort. As the temperature drops, reduced circulation and muscle tension can make everyday movement feel more challenging. Our Kunzea Pain Relief Cream is your perfect companion this winter, offering targeted, fast-acting relief to help you stay comfortable and mobile.

Formulated with Kunzea ambigua, a unique Australian native essential oil, this cream is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It works deep below the surface to relieve pain, calm inflammation, and support natural relief - without the need for synthetic chemicals. 

Why it works

Kunzea’s natural ability to reduce inflammation makes it especially valuable in winter, when the cold tends to amplify pain and stiffness. Whether you’re dealing with everyday aches or chronic conditions exacerbated by the weather, this cream helps ease discomfort so you can continue doing the things you love — even when it's chilly outside. 

How to use it

Apply a small amount of the cream directly to the affected area as often as needed, massaging gently into the skin until fully absorbed. For best results, use consistently - especially after showers or before bedtime, when muscles are warm and more receptive to topical treatments. It can be used anywhere you experience discomfort.
