Jump-Start Your Immune System for Fall

cottagefallFall is the season of change. During this season it becomes obvious that change is necessary for the beauty of life to unfold. We learn to let go of old ways of being and embrace the cooler temperatures that bring us indoors and into the company of family and friends. As we let go of the high energy of summer fun, festivities and travel, we begin to settle down – we turn inward.

With the change in weather, this too brings a transformation to the way we live. There is an inward momentum driving us into warmer dwelling spaces to seek shelter from nature’s frost. Our earthly hempishere is now tipping away from the sun, thus changing the angle of sunlight and removing the abundant vitamin D we were soaking up not too long ago.

The beauty of fall is that we learn to adapt to these changes. The cooler air forces our internal thermostats to ignite their flames and circulation to move heat through our colder extremities. With the change in sunlight and temperature comes a challenge to the adaptability of the human body, as it now needs to work harder – if we are strong enough, our bodies will respond appropriately. However, when we are living and working on fumes, not eating appropriately and barely resting, we are functioning under a health deficit.

It is estimated that on average, children get eight to ten colds annually, and adults get at least three. How can we boost our immune system for the fall season? Here are a few natural ways to enliven your immune system and improve adaptation for fall, the season of change.  Continue reading “Jump-Start Your Immune System for Fall”

5 Tips to Fight Summer Colds

summer-coldsWriting the words “summer” and “colds” in the same sentence just seems wrong. Unfortunately, in my house summer colds are an all too real situation. There isn’t much difference between a cold in the summer and any time of year, as they are all caused by viruses. The difference I find is how we take care of colds in the summer. In the winter, we tend to stay in and rest. In the summer, colds just seem inconvenient because of  busy schedules (vacation, activities) which make rest easier said than done.

If you have a summer cold and you need some relief, here are some tips:

Neti pot: If you’re experiencing nasal congestion, flush out your nose and sinuses with a saline solution. If you suffer from allergies, this is also very helpful.

Humidifier or diffuser: Using a humidifier or diffuser can help with congestion and open up airways. Better yet, add some eucalyptus, peppermint or rosemary essential oil.

Echinacea: Echinacea was first used in Native American healing. It can boost the immune system by improving the ability of white cells to fend off germs and avoid them taking hold in your body. As soon as you start noticing symptoms, you should begin taking echinacea.  Continue reading “5 Tips to Fight Summer Colds”

Sinus Survival SinuThyme

Stuffed up? Maybe it’s time for some thyme! The ingredients in Sinus Survival SinuThyme target relief for the common sinus sufferer.

The German Commission E has approved this ingredient for the treatment of bronchitis and other upper respiratory inflammation. Another component of SinuThyme is N-acetyl cysteine, a powerful mucolytic that helps break down mucos viscosity, allowing sinuses to drain. This makes conditions in the sinuses less conducive for bacteria and fungus to grow.  Continue reading “Sinus Survival SinuThyme”
