Boosting the Immune System Naturally With
Herbs
One of the easiest ways to help boost your body's immune system naturally, is
to use quality herbal supplements daily. Herbs are a form of food. In fact,
herbal supplements are simply dried and ground plants which are then put into
a gel capsule for easy swalling. This means they're very much like a condensed
version of healthy vegetables and fruits, and they're packed full of excellent
nutrition for your body. Some people consider herbal supplements to be super
foods, and when you think of them as condensed vegetables, you can see why.
There are some excellent herbs which are so packed with vitmains, essential
minerals and trace nutritional elements that they make excellent sources of
daily vitamins. Kelp is one of these herbs, and parsley and alfalfa are two
other excellent herbs which are packed full of vitamins and minerals too.
Kelp is high in natural iodine and iron. The natural iodine helps regulate
your thyroid, and that in turn helps fight off germs, bacteria and viruses in
your body. This makes Kelp a natural immune boosting herb for your body.
Kelp is also quite high in calcium, potassium, magnesium and other trace
minerals too, and it's an excellent source for most of the B vitamins as well.
Alfalfa is another power packed herb which can really boost your body's immune
system. This herb is rich in many vitamins such as calcium, iron, magnesium,
phosphorus, sodium, and trace elements our body's need. It also contains
essential amino acids our body's need, it has the highest chlorophyll content
of any plant, and it's a source of carotene and Vitamin K.
Parsley is another excellent vitamin rich herb. This one is very high in
Vitamins A, B, and C. In fact, parsley has three times as much vitamin C in it
as citrus, and Vitamin A stimulates the body's immune system. Parsley also
contains more iron than any other green vegetable, and it's high in potassium
too.
Dandelion is another herb which is very high in vitamins and minerals, and
it's especially good as a source of extra calcium. If you take non-herbal
vitamin C supplements for longer than three or four days, your body could
become depleted in calcium so you'll need to supplement that. Taking an herbal
supplement for Vitamin C is usually best, since herbs contain a wide variety
of other essential vitamins and minerals.
