Prepare yourself to fight the flu. Your immune system protects your body from infection and illness, and you can bolster it by getting enough regular rest and exercise, and eating a diet rich in whole foods. For added support, the following nutritional supplements and herbal extracts may also help:

Astragalus

Black elderberry

Taking 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of this herb a day may speed recovery; use 2 tablespoons (30 ml) for children

Echinacea

Garlic

Maitake and Reishi mushrooms

Probiotics

Vitamin C  (Take at least 100 mg per day to reduce your flu risk)

Marshmallow leaf and root may be used for pain and swelling (inflammation) of the mucous membranes that line the respiratory tract. They can also used for dry cough, inflammation of the lining of the stomach, diarrhea, stomach ulcers, constipation, urinary tract inflammation, and stones in the urinary tract.

The following self-care steps may be helpful: 

Wash your hands often and thoroughly (back of hands, between fingers and under your nails), using regular soap with warm water, and wash for 20 full seconds.

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you sneeze or cough. If you don’t have a tissue, sneeze or cough into your elbow, which prevents contaminating your hands and spreading the germs to other surfaces you touch.

Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes, which can spread germs.

Keep your diet healthy. Antioxidant-rich vegetables and fruits—such as broccoli, sweet peppers, carrots, citrus fruits, blueberries, pomegranate, and green leafy vegetables (such as spinach)—can improve your immune function and overall health.

 Ravintsara essential oil is used to treat rheumatism, fatigue, viral infections and … to flavor rum! How to use, health benefits, simple recipes, precautions … What you need to know about essential oil of ravintsara

 Si vous n’avez jamais entendu parler d’une barre de lotion, c’est à peu près une lotion solidifiée. Il agit de la même manière qu’une lotion, il a juste une texture différente. Au début, j’avais prévu de faire une lotion, mais j’ai décidé d’essayer quelque chose d’un peu différent.

Body scrubs are easier to make than you think! The three main ingredients a body scrub entails are probably sitting in your kitchen.

If you have never made a body scrub before and want to practice making one under a budget, 3 simple ingredients you can use are Salt or Sugar, Coconut oil or Olive Oil, and an essential oil of your choice for fragrance(this is optional). If you have experience making scrubs or want to try something new, here is a blend of different ingredients that I find works best for a soft, smooth finish.

Ingredients:
1 cup Epsom Salt (softens skin and removes dead skin cells)
½ cup Himalayan Salt (removes dead skin cells)
1 tbsp Coconut oil (moisturizes and softens skin)
1 tbsp Vitamin E oil (moisturizes and softens skin)
1 tbsp Grapeseed Oil (moisturizes and softens skin)
2 tbsp Shea Butter (moisturizes and softens skin)
