Resist Infection and Build Your Immunity with Herbs

September 14, 2009


In the world today there are plenty of virus and other diseases that have developed or that are being discovered that are life threatening and ultimately lead to death. Even though science has evolved over the ages it still takes a substantial amount of time to develop vaccines which would help curb the spread of the disease. Take the latest case of Swine Flu that has now turned into a pandemic. It started of in one country and has spread through out the world at a very alarming rate. Scientists and doctors also say that the original strain of the virus has mutated and that the second wave of the infection could not only be much stronger but also much more lethal than the current virus.

There are a few things that one can do to boost their immune system and their resistance to such types of infections. Though it is not a fool proof method, the following advice should at least be able to make sure that your body has the strength and energy required to fight the infection god forbid you do get diagnosed with it.

When you have something stuck in your throat you tend to cough. If you have a cold you tend to sneeze thus bringing out the congestion and expelling it from within the body. Similarly when the body gets infected it tries to heal itself by using special cells which help fight the infection or the bacteria. This task is done by the immune system and therefore it is important to make sure that your immune system is fortified with all the nutrients that it requires to function at peak levels. Nutritional deficiency causes lack of white blood cells which help in fighting bacteria and germs.

Siberian ginseng can be taken to help boost your immune system. Apart from this herb there are a few other herbs that you should take to help build your resistance and immunity to disease. Some of them are Hyssop oil which is also very effective in cleansing the aura and removing negative energy. Shitake is a mushroom which has an extract called lentinan that helps to build the power of the immune system and help it fight bacteria and infections. Goldenseal root is another herb that works similar to Shitake.
