Immune wellness

This time of year seems to be when everyone starts asking me what to take because they have come down with something. There are so many things we can do as preventatives and ways we can support ourselves and our immune systems.

🌞Vitamin D levels. Have a look at my post from last week on this. That's something you need to look after before you end up sick and it may make a big difference.

🌱Herbal teas may support your body in fighting off the ills and chills. I love YEP (equal parts dried yarrow, elderflower and peppermint) or thyme tea. All of these have been proven in studies to support the immune system.

🌱Elderberry syrup and gummies are delicious and are an age old go to for winter wellness. See recipe below for an easy version.

🍲Chicken soup is considered an age old Jewish remedy for sickness. Add some garlic and ginger and you have a nourishing wellness booster.

💚One of my favourite herbs and foods is ginger. I have yet to taste something and think it has too much ginger. It has so many wonderful indications including for tummy upsets and nausea as well as the sniffles. I love to grate (frozen) root ginger and mix it into some honey and eat it off the teaspoon. So yummy and full of goodness.

🌼Keep up your hydration with water, bone broth and soup and herbal teas to help support your body in flushing out the lurgy, while you're resting.

🌞If you need further support, contact me for a herbal formula and more advice or see your medical professional.
