Between the cold, fatigue, and viruses constantly on the loose, our immune system does its best, but it still falters sometimes. To strengthen your body's natural defenses , you can rely on plants. Tea, ginger, peppermint, black pepper, thyme, meadowsweet, guarana: now's the time to put all the odds in your favor.
You probably haven't missed the fact that autumn and winter are seasons when we get sick more easily.
From the common cold to the bad flu and the legendary gastroenteritis, our bodies are put to the test. The best way to ward off infections and fatigue is to strengthen your immune system . Because as my grandmother used to say: "You don't have to start treating yourself once you have a cold!"
If thyme is making so much noise, it's because it's on almost every front and it will stimulate your immune system .
100% thyme or accompanied by other plants to enhance the taste, for winter try thyme-based infusions .
When it comes to infusions, you can also count on the invigorating effect of guarana . Coming straight from Brazil, this plant has naturally found its place in our Boost and Me infusion . Beyond its invigorating properties , guarana is also known for its vitamin, magnesium, and iron content. A great way to please your immune system.
Our winning trio also includes ginger . Used for thousands of years, this energizing root will help your body face the torments of winter. We love it with its faithful companion, lemon , in our brand new Lemon-Ginger infusion that blows cold and hot!
A star of the kitchen, black pepper isn't just there to liven up our dishes; it's also a great health ally, especially when the immune system is a bit sluggish. True to its reputation, pepper will sting the body and tone it up. Now that you know all this, you'll never look at the pepper mill the same way again! For their part, our master infusers have slipped some into a recipe that's getting people talking, even under the covers: 7th Heaven !
A little thought, however, for peppermint , a very, very, very distant cousin of pepper, which is not the last when it comes to supporting your immune defenses .
With its pretty little head, its yellow color and its delicate fragrance, meadowsweet has long been a part of our lives: since the Middle Ages, it has decorated homes, perfumed meads and dyed clothes. In the 19th century, meadowsweet was given a new lease of life: thanks to the work of Abbot Obriat, it became a sort of "aspirin" before its time! More recently, its benefits for gastric disorders have been highlighted.
Sometimes overlooked by herbal teas, green tea is also an ally for immunity. Thanks to the polyphenols it contains, green tea helps our bodies fight against external aggressions. Along with a healthy diet and physical activity, drinking green tea will also be a valuable aid for your immune system.
