There are many ways to prepare tonics, but this time we offer a very special one prepared with ginger and honey of bees that will boost your immune system to keep you in line of possible decay and low energy. Prepare this immune tonic composed of 3 simple ingredients and replaces morning caffeine by consuming this immune tonic daily.
Tonic for the immune system
Under normal circumstances, the immune system responds to foreign organisms by producing antibodies and by stimulating specialized cells that destroy organisms or neutralize their toxic products. A second important function of the immune system is to watch over all the cells in your body to make sure they are not abnormal.
Scientists have known for years that it is possible to improve the functioning of the immune system. A good immune tonic combines the most powerful herbal immune enhancers the world has to offer and concentrates them to a degree never before seen on the planet. Such enhancers include foods such as:
Ginger Key Ingredient in Immune Tonic
Ginger has traditionally been used to treat colds and the flu. Chinese studies have shown that ginger helps kill influenza viruses, and an Indian report shows that it increases the immune system's ability to fight infection.
Honey for the immune tonic
Honey has many medicinal properties and because it covers the throat is a natural way to relieve sore throat. It also has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to help fight infections of viruses, bacteria and fungi. Avoid common clover honey you can find in the supermarket as it has the lowest antioxidant level.
Look for buckwheat honey, which has the highest level of antioxidants. (A note of caution: Never give honey to children under one year of age because their immune system has not developed enough to prevent infant botulism, which results from honey spores).
Lemon
Citrus fruits like lemon contain heavy doses of vitamin C. Studies have found that vitamin C can reduce cold symptoms by 23 percent, and all it takes is 1,000 to 8,000 milligrams. In addition, citrus fruits are excellent to be used in any type of immune tonic.
Benefits of immune tonic
- Fight the infection.
- Strengthens the tissues against the assault of invading microorganisms.
- Stimulates the ability of macrophages.
- It increases the production of T cells and protects the T helper cells.
- It complements the action of interferon and interleukin 1.
- Assists the cell-mediated immune response.
How to use the immune tonic
The important thing is to understand that the immune system responds better to periodic stimuli, unlike constant stimuli. That is, you will not use an immune tonic every day. It's not that it's a bad thing; It just becomes less effective.
The way to take it will be fasting every day for three weeks, then leave a week without taking it to re-renoudar again three weeks leaving a week off and so on. Do not forget to strengthen your immune system ahead of time when the times of contagion for viruses and other contagious diseases are approaching.
Colds and flu are not only inconvenient and uncomfortable, they can also be extremely dangerous - especially to the very young and the very old. Unfortunately, modern medicine has little to offer in the treatment of colds and the flu. Fortunately, if we do this treatment as it should be, there would be no need to suffer from colds and the flu for days or weeks.
