Boosting the Immune System
 
 
 

Hot and cold showers
Begin your morning with a warm shower. After a few minutes, step aside and change the water temperature to lukewarm or cold. Place your right leg back in the shower first, then work your way up the body.

Stress Reduction
Scientific studies have shown that stress weakens your immunity. Try relaxation techniques, such as ballet stretching or journal writing, to help you cope better with stress. Or brew up a cup of chamomile or valerian tea to help relieve the anxiety and create a state of peace.

Natural healing therapies
Oxygen therapy:
A treatment that delivers high concentrations of oxygen to the blood to simulate metabolism and fight infection.

Lymphatic drainage: A therapeutic technique that speeds the removal of impurities and toxins through massage of the lymph vessels.

Humidity: Keep the indoor moisture level between 30 and 50 percent so that the mucous membranes in the nose do not dry out. This will help protect the cilia, the fine hairs that line the nose and act as a barrier to keep germs from penetrating the body.

Herbal stimulants
Natural antibacterial:
Include freshly grated, chopped garlic, horseradish or onions in your diet to fright harmful bacteria.

Healing Inhalation: Enjoy a hot steam bath with mint oil, which kills bacteria on the mucous membranes and stimulates the formation of antibodies
