October – March is cold season, which means that over 1 billion of us will have a nasty little cold and 10% of us will get the flu. Getting sick can’t always be avoided, it may just be your body’s way of telling you that you need to slow down and take some time out to rest. I think this is what my body is trying to tell me – I have decided to listen.You can help your body avoid the cold and flu by pumping up your immune system. Your immune system is your body’s natural defense team with the ability to protect you from potentially harmful bacteria and viruses. There are four key steps that I follow to help keep my immunity in check. You can also support your immunity by discovering what ancient healers have known for centuries – that certain herbs can help support your body’s immune system. My favorite herb immunity boosting herb is ginger – you can put it in a lot of different dishes and it makes a lovely tea too! And remember that the number one way to prevent getting sick is by washing your hands!
Tip: Elderberry tea is super effective when it comes to helping you fight a cold because it has massive anti-viral properties.
