From Tom Greenfield, member of the General Council and Register of Naturopaths, on behalf of the British Naturopathic Association:
1) Try Elderberry liquid
These berries taste delicious and kill bacteria and viruses on contact.
Top Santé suggests: If you can’t get the fresh berries, try Lifeplan Berry Well Elderberry 3000mg with Vitamin C and Zinc
2) Larch Arabinogalactan
This is a powdered extract from the larch tree, which is proven to boost the immune system and protect against cold infections as well as being protective against some forms of cancer.
Clinical trials found that Larch Arabinogalactan is capable of enhancing natural killer cells and macrophages (white blood cells) as well as the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (cell-signalling molecules) to protect against infections.
3) Reduce sugar and mucus-forming foods
Cut back red meat, dairy products, bread, eggs, corn and soya at the first sign of illness and concentrate on vegetable soups – these support the body’s immune system and allows for improved health of the microbiome by promoting healthy gut bacteria.
4) Bee propolis
Bee propolis is essential, but make sure you don’t have a bee allergy before using this. Propolis is antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and helps relieve the pain and discomfort of a sore throat.
Leading health and wellness company Abundance and Health has the following advice for warding off viruses this winter…
