I spent today recuperating from the cold that is currently working its way around the city. This involved spending most of the day in bed, napping in between watching films, snacking and keeping warm.
Lying around doing nothing isn't something that comes that naturally to me but is very important to help the body fight infection and much better than lemsipping yourself up to the eyeballs and dragging yourself into the office, delaying your recovery and potentially spreading your germs to your colleagues.
Whilst being a nutritional therapist sadly doesn't guarantee you won't pick up the latest bug doing the rounds, it does mean that you will usually have a good supply of supplements available to help you bounce back quickly when you do get ill.
My favourites for cold/flu type symptoms are:
Echinacea and Vitamin C, all-round immune boosters
Olive leaf and Cat's claw, potent herbal anti-virals
Horseradish, a natural decongestent
Whilst there are a lot of sceptics as to the benefits of herbal supplements, I've had many a convert who's experienced a remarkably speedy recovery by taking these remedies.
The final ingredient in my recovery plan is lots of sleep, essential for a quick and full recovery, and on that note I bid you goodnight!
ps If you are pregnant, are taking medication or have any health condition or health symptoms do not
take herbal supplements without consulting a doctor nutritional therapist.
