Here are some useful tips from the Ayurvedic world to keep your immune system strong:
- In the morning prepare a flask of boiled water and add a few slices of ginger. Sip this regularly throughout your day and always ensure that your mouth and throat are moist. Drink a LOT!
- A few essential oils with strong anti-viral properties are Tea Tree (Teebaum), Eucalyptus, Ravensara, Rosemary and Cinnamon Oil. You can put a few drops of these oils in a 20 ml spray bottle
of water and carry it with you to spray on your hands as a disinfectant. You can also put a few drops of these oils on a tissue and breathe a few deep breaths of the oils into your system.
Alternatively you can use these oils in a diffuser to cleanse your living spaces. The above essential oils can be bought from Rachel or at any Drogerie. If you would like advise on the essential
oils and how to use them please contact Rachel.
- Keep your immune system healthy by getting enough restful sleep, eating at the right times of the day. According to Ayurveda the biggest meal should be consumed at lunchtime (12 – 14) when
your digestive fires are at their strongest and in the evening it’s best to eat a lighter warm meal such as soups, vegetables, light stews. No raw food at night because the body cannot digest raw
food very well.
- And last but not least LAUGH!! Tell jokes, read funny stories, watch a comedy – laughter and joy are the body’s best way to maintain a strong immune system.
