Secret Weapon to fight the Cold and Flu

in cold •  7 years ago 

So I have a medicine cabinet full of stuff to keep away the bug that gets you sick. I buy it for myself and my employees to keep them healthy and able to work. Over the years I have gotten the rep as the cold doctor so other people come to me as well. Usually it is when they are sick but this stuff works best when used before you get sick or when you think you might be exposed. When I was young I got sick from aspirin so all my medicine is naturopathic.

If you have been around someone sick or think you may have been exposed to the cold or flu or you just feel a little off the first thing to do is load up on vitamin c. 20180122_201725.jpg
and zinc, which helps keep your immune system strong.

I also like to eat one or two cloves of Raw Garlic. Yes Raw. Just make sure you have something to chase it with because it can burn. I like to put one in my salad or a couple in a wrap for that surprise bite.

Now for the Secret Weapon. Really it's not super secret. But I didn't know about it a couple years ago and I am so glad I found out about it. Are you ready. Wait for it.... Wait....

Yes, Olive Leaf. It's an antioxidant. Helps boost your immune system. And it has been around for about 2 or 3 thousand years. Yeah. Well known if you're in the know. It also helps if you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.
And don't forget to wash your hands frequently. This is really important. Eating or touching your face without washing your hands is asking to get sick.
If you do get sick I recommend this tea. 20180122_201633.jpg
And if you get a cough I recommend a good herbal expectorant. 20180122_201558.jpg
These things won't necessarily stop you from getting sick but they can help and will also help reduce the time and severity that you are. The Olive leaf is your best weapon before, during and after. Good luck.
