Sarah Smith, Wellness Staff
• Gaia Echinacea/Propolis throat spray
• Zinc lozenges
• Making immune boosting teas with any number of dried herbs such as: Echinacea, Ginger, Mint, Astragalus, and Licorice. I think tea making can be therapeutic on so many levels.

• Wellness Formula- seems to boost immunity and relieve symptoms
• Elderberry (Honey Gardens Syrup and New Chapter Immunity Take Care) Elderberry is purported to stop the mechanism that allows viruses to enter and hijack our cells.
• Thyme- antiseptic to respiratory system (I like to throw it in some hot water and inhale the steam)
• Garlic - Antimicrobial when it is fresh (make guacamole, dip bread in garlic and oil, etc)
• Ginger – in food or tea help to sweat out the toxins
• Fermented foods like Miso and Kimchi to build immunity
• Probiotics- I like to soak rosehips in apple juice and all flora powder overnight. In the AM I have a medicinal jam that I can add cinnamon, ginger, etc to and have for breakfast.

• Alacer Emergen-C packets in Gerolsteiner bottles water - something about the effervescence makes me cheery. I will open 7-8 packets (7-8 grams of Vitamin C) at a time and carefully mix into a full bottle of sparkling water.

• Onion ‘tea’ – Slice an organic onion, and steep in a cup of hot water
• Onion ‘chest pack’ Bake an onion, leave in peel. Let cool slightly, wrap in a clean cloth, pressing onion flat, and tie to chest. One can wear this overnight, excellent for small children.
• Avoid too much juice; Miso broth, vegetable or chicken soups and water are better.
• I also try to avoid dairy and sweets if I am under the weather
• Zand Cherry Echinacea/Zinc Lozenges
