Everyone is sick at one point or another throughout the year.
Illnesses affect your ability to make it into work and can have a
negative impact on your life if the sickness lasts. While many doctors
would suggest taking antibiotics, the reality is not everyone can afford
them and in the long run they can have negative health effects on your
immune system. Instead, there are a number of natural medicines that you
can utilize, that not only cost less than pharmaceutical medicines, but
are naturally occurring and will boost your immune system.
Oregano Oil
Oregano oil is made from naturally occurring wild oregano and is
rich in carvacrol. Carvacrol is a phenol, which had antibacterial and
antimicrobial properties. Oregano oil is used as an immune booster that
should be taken when you are beginning to develop a cold. It comes in a
small bottle with an eyedropper. Take one drop, 1 to 4 times daily until
the symptoms of the cold are gone. It can be found at most health food
stores and if you want an extra potent version of the oil then look for
the branded "Oreganol P73" type.
Ginseng is a natural health remedy that helps to boost your immune
system, lower stress levels and increase your libido. It also helps you
recover your health during illness and the flu. It often comes in
capsule form and should be taken regularly when you are sick. You can
find it at health food stores or through a naturopath.
Echinacea
This plant is native to the United States and is an immune stimulant. It helps the body develop more white blood cells, which are in charge of fighting infections that develop within the body. Most people use it daily to help fortify their system during the winter months when you are more prone to becoming ill.
