🌿 Immune-Supporting Herbs to Know 🌿
Herbs have been used for centuries to support the body’s natural immune defenses.
Here are some of my favourite herbs and how they help support immunity:
• Ginger – Supports circulation and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
• Oregano – Rich in carvacrol and thymol, which provide antimicrobial and antioxidant support
• Goldenseal – Supports immune and mucosal health; may help reduce congestion and inflammation in the sinuses, throat, and respiratory tract
• Cinnamon – A warming herb with antimicrobial properties
• Andrographis – Supports immune activation and recovery
• Cordyceps – Helps support immune resilience and energy levels
• Echinacea – Supports immune response, especially during colds
• Ashwagandha – Helps manage stress, which plays a key role in immune health
• Sambucus (Elderberry) – Supports the body’s antiviral defenses
• Astragalus – Supports long-term immune strength and vitality
✨Herbs can be a gentle way to support immune health naturally.
