Boost Your Immune System
Of course having a healthy diet supports your immune system, but adding key nutritional supplements will strengthen your immune system. I love using Standard Process's Immuplex and Antronex for viral infections and they can be used preventatively as well.
IV Vitamin C is what they are using in China as a cure for those infected with the coronavirus. Don't ask me why the media isn't talking about that. So taking vitamin C can be a great preventative. Not all vitamin C is the same quality so make sure your vitamin C comes from food or is liposomal vitamin C. Zinc is also great for the immune system and because the coronavirus hits the throat first zinc lozenges are a great preventative too.
Here is a powerful all natural antiviral recipe that became my favorite remedy during cold and flu season over the last 5 years. This immune boosting tonic recipe is quite easy to make. It’s a garlic, ginger, lemon, honey remedy that’s suitable for the entire family, including kids! Aids digestion and promotes detoxification too.
Ingredients:
- 2 small fresh lemons (~1/2 cup) – (with the skin or not, cut into large chunks)
- 1/2 cup fresh ginger – (peeled, cut into chunks)
- 1/2 cup fresh garlic cloves – (peeled)
- 1/2 cup raw organic Manuka honey
Instructions:Add all ingredients roughly chopped in a blender, pulsing for a few seconds until everything turns into a paste.
The mixture contains not only the juice but also the fibers from the whole fruit/vegetable which makes it even more beneficial for your gut microbiome. This immune boosting tonic is best taken on an empty stomach in the morning and/or half an hour before meals or before going to bed.
As a preventive measure you can take one or two teaspoons per day based on personal requirement.
If you are in the middle of fighting a cold or an acute infection take 1 teaspoon every 3-4 hours.
The benefits of this tonic are best experienced if used regularly.
Storage:
Store the immune boosting tonic in a seal-able glass container in the fridge. The longer its sits in the fridge the more potent it gets.
Essential oils are great too! They have a faster way of getting into the body and working at the cellular level. We love doterra essential oils for they test the best and suggest putting oils in a veggie capsule to boost your immune system. This is the recipe I like to follow if you can't be muscle tested for your specific essential oil formula.
2 drops Frankincense
2 drops Melaleuca (Tea Tree oil)
4 drops On Guard Blend
2 drops Oregano
6 drops Lemon
Directions: Place all drops into an empty Veggie Cap. Take one capsule every 4-6 hours. Be sure to fill each Veggie Cap immediately before ingesting as the essential oils dissolve the capsules very quickly. Take capsule with food.
Repeat daily as desired.
Healing Arts has it's own Wellness Blend developed by Dr. Armitstead that contains a 'blend' of great immune boosters. It has the garlic, oregano, and liposomal C we already talked about along with echinacea, goldenseal, lysine and more! |
