It's flu season! The flu is a contagious respiratory illness that spreads through the air. People with depressed immune systems or nutritional deficiencies are most at risk, and stress, lack of sleep, and exposure to toxins can make symptoms worse. These symptoms include:
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Fever
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Aches and pains
- Headache
- Fatigue
This herb fights viral and fungal infections. It has been shown to be just as, if not more effective than traditional medications like Tamiflu.
Elderberry (6 mL a day)
This herb reduces inflammation, relieves sinus pain, and boosts immunity.
Essential Oils
Peppermint and Frankincense oils protect the body against infection and speed recovery. Rub them on your neck, or on the bottoms of your feet.
Honey and Cinnamon
Make a tea with honey, cinnamon, and some lemon to prevent mucus build-up and stay hydrated.
