Herbal healing has been around for centuries and even in today’s high-tech society, it has an important role in keeping us disease-free and healthy…
Dr. Ellen Kamhi, Ph.D., author of “The Natural Medicine Chest,” says it’s important to shore up our immune systems whenever there is a threat of a viral invasion.
“The best approach is to do all you can do to help support the immune system since it controls our ability to fend off illness, whether it be a deadly disease, or even the common cold,” she tells Newsmax. Eat a healthy diet and reduce stress, while enlisting herbs as part of your anti-germ warfare, she says. “Besides elderberry, technically called Sambucus nigra, which has been proven not only to prevent the flu but to reduce its symptoms, there is an arsenal of herbs to help you stay well.”
Astragalus. One study by the National Cancer Institute demonstrated astragalus’ ability to strengthen the body’s immune response, especially against viral infections.
Oil of Oregano. Chock-full of disease-fighting vitamins and minerals, this herbal blend contains many active chemicals that provide beneficial support to our bodies, says Kamhi. “It is exceptional in its ability to destroy several different kinds of microorganisms including bacteria, fungus, virus and parasites,” she says.
Rosemary. This herb has been used as an anti-infective agent since ancient times. Kamhi reveals that it was burned in hospitals and sick rooms to purify the air and fight infections. “It was also used in courts to keep the judge and jurors from contracting plagues and fevers that the prisoner’s brought up from the dungeons,” she says.
