Boost your own Natural defences for any Virus

I Took this image in Limerick this Saturday, it really tickled me but it also brought home how big the Corona virus story has become.  ​With all the talk of the Coronavirus, I wanted to share some down to earth simple advice. 
 
So the Coronavirus seems to have a lower mortality rate than the flu and many other already common health issues we face, but there are still some things we can do to boost our natural defences.

  1. Diet – increase your vegetable intake, especially Vitamin A, C & D, Zinc foods – orange, yellow and green fruits and vegetables, oily fish, eggs, sunflower seeds, beans, nuts.
  2. Herbs – Echinacea (2 weeks at a time), Elderberry, Ginger, Garlic, Rosemary, Thyme, Rosemary, Rosehips, Myrrh.
  3. Lifestyle – Exercise, meditation (reduce fear), deep breathing (strengthen lungs), wash hands, use a tissue, avoid unnecessary travel and large groups.
  4. Supplements – Vitamin C and D – I use a Rosehip Vitamin C high dose supplement in powder form.
  5. Sleep – get 8 solid hours of sleep, get to bed early.  This allows the body to repair, thus strengthening your systems.  Your deepest sleep should be between 3-5am, this is the lung time.  As the virus seems to affect the lungs primarily, it is wise to strengthen the lungs as much as possible.
  6. Stay calm – This virus should be taken seriously but we should also keep our heads, not allowing the media and social media frenzy to create problems where otherwise there would be none.  We need to be calmly cautious.
 
For those who have already compromised immune issues, herbal medicine can help but strictly supervised by a herbalist.
 
Take practical steps to boosting your immunity rather than waiting for disaster to hit.
