Protect Your Immune System Herbs

I was just in Thailand and got back 2 weeks ago. I noticed that the Corona virus numbers were low despite tourists and some crowds. People hand sanitized, health officials took temperatures along different bus stops and tours, people wore masks and people didn’t touch each other but greeted each other with a heart salutation.

What I also noticed was that the foods Thai people eat were super spicy and also had high antiviral properties. From what I have heard from different health officials is the virus doesn’t like heat.

So here are some herbs and tips to help you during this challenging time.

Garlic – antiviral, spicy, anticatarrhal, diaphoretic, immunological, immune stimulant. Put as much as you like in food. Put a ton in your food. Take daily. Eat raw if you can but have only have a piece of garlic. If you eat a ton of garlic your whole body will smell and people WILL stay away from you – at least 6 feet!

Ginger – diaphoretic, spicy, carminative, prebiotic, immune stimulant. Make a tea out of it and drink daily. I also like chewing on ginger raw.

Onions – antiviral, anticattarrhal, spicy. Cut up pieces of onions and leave around the house. I do this around flu season to protect me if one of us is sick.

Chilis – spicy, diaphoretic, and antiviral. Corona doesn’t like heat, so sweat it out! Add siracha into your food or cayenne pepper!

Turmeric – antiviral, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, carminative. Helps to protect the cells from viruses. Make into tea or add into food.

Stay safe and take care of yourself!
