Boosting immunity in preparation for the colder season is not a tricky game if you stock up on the right remedies. The following natural remedies help in keeping the nasty bugs away.
Eight Ways To Boost Immunity in Preparation For The Colder Season:
1. Low-sugar diet. Sugar is a known immunity killer, yet people sometimes think that since they do not overdose on candy daily, they do not consume too much sugar. It’s not that simple! Bread contains sugar, as does pizza, and so does milk. So re-evaluate the sugar content of everything you eat.
2. Hand washing. This is pretty basic, but a lot of germs live on our hands, so the more often you wash your hands with soap, the less likely you are to ingest germs. Chemical hand sanitizers are less effective, because they leave dirt on the hands and allow the body to absorb extra chemicals.
3. Thieves Essential Oil. This essential oil features a combination of three immunity-enhancing oils and works just fabulously to prevent the cold or the flu. Just mix it with some carrier oil and rub it on the soles of the feet, or diffuse it.
4. Garlic-rich diet. Garlic is another known immunity enhancer and including it in your daily diet can help keep those germs at bay. If your child will not eat garlic, try crushing one clove into a teaspoon of raw honey and giving it like medicine.
5. Good, strong probiotics. These kick the body’s immune system into high gear. If one of my kids looks like they are coming down with a cold, I double up their normal daily probiotic dose and they are healthy the next day!
6. Neti pot. This watering can-like small device, designer to wash out one’s nasal cavities, is great for washing out the germs. When you use the neti pot daily, you never catch any viruses to begin with! To learn how to use the neti pot properly, explore YouTube.
7. Oregano Essential Oil. This essential oil smells bad, but it is scientifically proven as an anti-viral and antibiotic. One drop on the soles of the feet daily keeps the nasty bugs away.
8. Elderberry Syrup. Last, but not least, this tasty remedy full of vitamins and minerals is scientifically proven to shorten the duration of the common colds. To buy organic sugar-free or raw-honey-based elderberry syrup, produced right here on the Plateau, visit www.healthymamainfo.com.
