Little do most of us know that we are surrounded by herbal remedies growing wild all around us. Fields, hedgerows and even back-gardens are packed with wild herbal remedies. Nature is full of all the things we need to heal ourselves if only we can learn more about this natural source of healing and learn to harness it for our benefit, rather than using pharmaceutical drugs with sometimes significant side effects.
As a taster of natural herbs that can help you, the following is a list of immune boosting remedies you can try to improve your wellbeing:
Sage – well-known as a household spice for sausages, sage is a strong cleansing herb used for detoxification, and can be burnt to cleanse a room of negative energy. It is also a powerful immune building spice because it is packed with antioxidants, and trace elements that are known for fighting viruses and diseases. North American Indians have used Sage for hundreds of years to fight infections and prevent problems occurring in the first place.
Garlic – also well known in the kitchen for spicing up your food and adding flavour to a variety of culinary indulgences, garlic is useful for thinning the blood, killing infections and preventing viruses from taking hold in the body. Garlic also helps kill parasites and bacteria and for this reason it is used in enemas, the practice of cleansing your bowels by passing water through them from your anus. This is an essential herb for wellness and is extremely effective at cleansing the blood and preventing influenza, among other ailments.
Hyssop – lesser known than the above, but mentioned in the Bible as a herbal remedy, hyssop is a ceremonial cleansing remedy used in rituals to cleanse the body and mind before prayer. You might not wish to use this before prayer, but hyssop is a great complementary medicine for reducing the chance of catching colds, detoxifying your system and generally strengthening your immunity. This is due to the presence of a chemical called caffeic acid.
Why not try some of the above herbal remedies to help reduce the chance of getting a cold or flu, or simply to build your general immunity. You can take herbal remedies in tincture form, powder or the raw herb if it is available where you live.
