Beat the Flu

The best way to prevent the flu is to build a powerful immune system.

This is because your immune system is your body's internal army which fights against invaders, like colds and flu, illness and disease.

Nourishing herbs are the basis of great nourishment for the immune system and the entire body.

They are full of antioxidant vitamins, minerals, proteins, phytoestrogens, and hundreds of protective phytochemicals that work to help you ward off the flu and colds too.

Winter is Coming

Herbs may not seem strong enough to prevent or counter the flu, but they are.

When we use herbs to maintain and regain health, we not only take a big step toward health independence but a small step toward peace on our planet.

Instead of making war on weeds, we use them.

More Tips to Avoid the Flu

Wash your hands. Besides using herbs, this is the single best way to avoid the flu.

Cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hand.

Viral particles are easily passed from hands to eyes and nose even if you use a tissue.

If the flu is active in your area, avoid public places.
