Everyone wants to know what can be done to increase our body’s natural resistance to a variety of infections, including the now-emerging swine flu (H1N1). Taking herbal supplements is one way to accomplish this. Volumes have been written on this subject of Immune-Boosting herbal products. Since the question seems to be of vital concern, especially if you’ve been listening to the news lately, I will cover what I consider, only the top ways to boost your immune system with Chinese Herbs. for a moment because I must diverge if you are serious about building a strong immune system a few lifestyle issues must also be implemented. Otherwise, no matter what herbs you take, long term benefits will elude you. This again is a vast topic, so I will only list the absolute essential in your daily practices you need to keep your life in balance or in immune system homeostasis. Getting enough sleep is essential . Drink water and exercise everyday. (At the very least fit some walking into your day.) Exercise is also a great way to reduce stress, which is next on this list. Eat a healthy diet, think variety and consume as little sugar as possible. If you are not incorporating these practices into your everyday life, your weakening your immune system and any variety of infections you will find a welcome host. That being said, Boosting your immune system can and will help you prevent infections with Chinese herbs, but herbal supplements are not an overnight quick fix. Should be taken for at least one Chinese herbal formulas month for a powerful, long lasting effect. Adaptogenic herbs such as ginseng, shiitake mushrooms, Ganoderma (also known as reishi mushrooms), coryceps, are all herbs astragalus and Dand eleuthero at the top of the “boost the immune system” list. Do exactly what their name implies Adaptogenic herbs, they assist the body in “adapting” to its environment. Keep in mind, are best taken Chinese herbs within a formula, rather than individually, to enhance synergistic actions between herbs. Scientific studies have shown these herbs all support and enhance the body’s immune functions. These compounds such as polysaccharides which have adaptogenic herbs increase the body’s natural killer cells, also known as lymphocytes. Extensive studies support the claims that these herbs also promote the activity of antibodies, improve the body’s resistance to stress and infections, help balances stress, reduces allergies, increase energy and promote healthy liver functions, just to name a few. A side note, if you are taking these herbs immuno-suppresant drugs are not recommended as they have potent immune enhancing effects which can increase the risk of rejection of the drugs and thus may severely compromise a person’s health. Most importantly, if you are looking to purchase any please buy medicinal herbs from that a reputable source you can trust. There are many companies who do not start with high quality crude herbs. Quality herbs, testing for Contaminants, proper storage and preparation are all vital to ensuring a potency herbal products. I can not stress enough, the importance of knowing your buying from a reputable source. I wish you good health and Although Gordon Brown assures us Britain is well prepared to deal with an outbreak of Swine Flu, I am always happier to take proactive action myself and there are some simple measures we can all take. They are not guaranteed to prevent you getting it, but they will certainly help. The symptoms are of course very similar to any other flu you might experience: fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, chills and fatigue so report to your doctor if you have these. However, what you also need to do is focus on strengthening your own immune response to prevent infection getting a hold and developing. 1 This time of year I usually have stopped taking Echinacea, but it is my first port of call to build up my defences and if you can get Echinacea tincture that is the most effective in my opinion. Boots produce their own and there is an excellent one made by Bioforce from helath stores. Take it daily for three weeks then a week off. 2 Next increase the amount of vitamin C you are taking, at least 1 gram a day in two 500mg doses is the most effective. Have as natural and unprocessed diet as you can, and juicing your fruit and vegetables gets you the maximum vitamins from them. 3 Your body requires oxygen for every cell to function properly because viruses can neither survive nor thrive in it. Therefore, the best defence against microbes, germs, harmful bacteria and viruses, such as the swine influenza virus, is to keep the body oxygenated. Add in eggs to your diet as they are excellent for improving your oxygen absorption. See the healthy bites item on eggs below. 4 Are you breathing deeply enough? Shallow breathing will not bring enough oxygen into so your system, and being out in the fresh air every day is a must. Walking at a moderate pace while breathing in for a count of six, and out for a count of six, is one of the simplest ways to do this. If you find a count of six difficult, reduce it to four, or if it becomes easy increase to six or eight. 5 Limit foods and substances that stress the body such as sugar, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, too much red meat and processed foods high in saturated and hydrogenated fats. 6 Increase your intake of green tea, and reduce coffee and tea. Green tea will really help as its antixodants will boost your immune system. Add some lemon to it and you get extra vitamin C as well. 7 Finally, go back to basic hygiene and wash your hands in hot soapy water frequently and carry hand gel when you are out and use it after contact with others such as a handshake – and contact in public places with stair rails, lift buttons and so on. It may all seem like a nonsense, but people have died from not taking this seriously. The good habits outlined here will help protect you, and if you maintain them you will have a solid barrier to prevent future infection. |
