With the temperature outside going up and down, it can be harder on our immune systems to fight off colds and flu. There are many natural and fun ways to support the immune system that can start in the comfort of your home.
Use 1 or all of these suggestions in rotation. At our house I strive to make soup 1/week, have the gingerbread tea 1/week and do the essential oil tubbies, elderberry and vitamin D/K daily.
*Avoid unpasteurized honey in anyone under the age of 1 years old.
For more questions on your immune system, mineral status or anything else health related, book in with Dr. Almon ND today!
