Fight the flu and allergies naturally

Now is the time to start taking care of our immune system and be prepared to fight allergies and the flu! We recently had to make the move to central valley where the air is horrible. Dust storms,valley fever, allergies, etc. Worst air quality! But have to make the best of it. Not only by praying for the air but also by adding to my daily supplements. My husband has bad allergies and I started giving him Quercetin.

This is a very inexpensive natural supplement that helps stabilize
mast cells and prevents them from releasing histamine. I researched this and asked a local nutritionist what she recommended.

Along with this we will be taking our usual Vit C, D, Garlic and Omegas.

Omegas will also help extremely with allergies because it fights inflammation. Omegas can be found in flax seed meal (my fav), walnuts, olive oil and cold water fish (salmon has highest amounts).

There are many other supplements, teas, etc. that you can take but wanted to share about these because they are easy to find and very inexpensive.

During this time we daily drink our yerba mate teas (check out products on the left side of this page), adding ginger, honey lemon.
