While Big Pharma scrambles to cash in on new COVID-19 treatments, Mother Nature already has powerful allies waiting in the wings.
A groundbreaking review in the journal Nutrients revealed a secret that Big Pharma won’t advertise—common herbs and supplements could ease mild COVID-19 symptoms.
And the best part?
You won’t need a prescription or to take out a second mortgage to try them.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 is here to stay. Experts say the virus appears to be settling into a dual season, peaking around the winter holidays and again towards the end of summer.
That means the next spike may be in a few months.
So, let’s break down what’s in nature’s COVID-19-fighting toolkit, according to the review…
- Eucalyptol: This powerful eucalyptus compound does more than just allow you to breathe easier. It eases airway inflammation by targeting inflammatory proteins.
- Ginseng: This ancient root targets dangerous “cytokine storms”—acting like a bouncer for your immune system, keeping things from spiraling out of control.
- Echinacea: This purple powerhouse isn’t just for the common cold anymore. It discourages the virus from multiplying while also calming inflammation.
- Arginine: This amino acid acts like a blood-flow traffic cop, working against the dangerous clots COVID-19 is known for. Plus, it might make it harder for the virus to break into cells in the first place.
- Vitamin C: This potent vitamin is a cellular shield protecting immune cells from damage while keeping inflammation in check.
- Vitamin D: The “sunshine vitamin” helps the immune system fight smarter, not harder. Plus, it helps fortify your respiratory defenses.
Now, let’s be clear, these are complementary tools to support your entire immune system. Think of them as your immune system’s backup dancers, supporting the main act.
While Big Pharma has been busy developing thousand-dollar treatments, Mother Nature has quietly stocked her medicine cabinet.
Consider adding these natural immune system defenders to your daily routine.
