Fav Immune Boosters

Whether you need preventative measures, or something for the onset of an inconvenient bug, these are our number one go-to’s. Keep your immune system strong and lessen the severity of a cold or flu. You’ll be feeling like yourself in no time!

Why not take OTC’s? Well, the simple answer is ~ our bodies are naturally designed to heal themselves. When we take OTC’s, they throw a wrench in our innate ability to overcome sickness. They dehydrate the body as well. When we are fighting any infection, staying hydrated is absolutely key! 

Need a natural antibiotic? Goldenseal works really well for upper respiratory infections. It is to be taken  like conventional antibiotics, for 10-12 days, twice a day, around the same time. You can overcome sinus infections without creating unnecessary side effects. It is always helpful to pair your antibiotic with a quality probiotic as well, to help keep support your G.I. tract, which is responsible for about 80% of our immune systems.

Pro Tips: putting hydrogen peroxide in your ears serves well as a preventative measure, as well as for onset.

Also, you can take two Q-tips, saturated in saline solution, to clean just in the inside of the nostrils.

Also, I have found that it is best to refrain from using a neti pot until there is a lot of mucus present. I prefer the waiting it out method because it helps to keep the natural homeostasis  the mucus membrane intact.
