Strengthen Your Immunity Naturally Before Winter | Maryline Hourlier
Autumn is approaching, and with it, the first viruses. Rather than waiting to get sick, adopt these natural habits now to arm your immune system.
Immunostimulating essential oils
- Ravintsara: the most effective natural antiviral. Massage onto the sole of the foot every evening starting in October.
- Tea Tree: antibacterial and antifungal, perfect for diffusion to purify the air.
- Eucalyptus radiata: clears airways and stimulates natural defenses.
Immunostimulating plants
Echinacea, taken as a 3-week course, stimulates white blood cell production. Propolis, produced by bees, is a remarkable natural antibiotic.
Immunity-boosting foods
- Garlic: powerful antiviral and antibacterial properties thanks to allicin.
- Ginger: anti-inflammatory and immune stimulant.
- Citrus fruits: rich in vitamin C, they strengthen natural barriers.
- Probiotics: 70% of immunity resides in the gut.
The importance of sleep
7 to 8 hours of sleep per night are essential. It is during the night that the body produces its cytokines, molecules essential for immune defense.
