Boost your immune system Winter is coming. The immune system is the most important system of the body when it comes to preventing diseases. Modern medicine battles diseases by treating with medication once we are ill, but here are some herbal suggestions to avoid the illness that you can use at home for prevention. Astragalus is an excellent antioxidant herb that also protects the liver. This is a very good herb to take in capsules, tinctures or tea. Because of the stimulant action on the body do not take this if you have a fever present. Bayberry Capsules have an antibiotic effect that is great for sore throat, coughs and for flu symptoms Echinacea I find this one is most effective in a tincture (liquid) as it absorbs into the system and enhances the lymphatic function. Our lymphatic system is vital in preventing disease. One of my favorite teas for this time of year and actually pretty tasty is: Immune Tea 2 cups of hot water 1 teaspoon of Echinacea root 1/2 teaspoon Chamomile flowers 1/2 teaspoon of Peppermint leaves I add the herbs in a tea ball and steep for about 3 minutes. Depending on my mood I might also put a little honey or lemon in as well. Children love tea parties and what a great sneaky way to help them be healthy for the winter months coming up, plus you get to enjoy a little "Tea Time"...priceless. Placerville Health Foods, 1252 Broadway next door to Snap Fitness carries all of these herbs. They can also be found on my website: drdebsherbals. I keep Astragalus and Bayberry capsules in the cabinet at my office also, Taylor Chiropractic, 484 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond Springs
