Try these 5 unconventional ways to boost your immune system
While traditional practices like a balanced diet, exercise, and good hygiene are essential for immune health, here are five unconventional things you can try that may also support your immune system:
1. Laughter therapy: laughter has been linked to the release of endorphins, which can boost mood and potentially enhance immune function. Enjoying a good laugh through comedy, social interactions, or even laughter yoga classes could have immune-boosting benefits.
2. Mindfulness meditation: chronic stress can weaken the immune system. Mindfulness meditation can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being, potentially leading to better immune function.
3. Cold exposure: controlled exposure to cold, such as cold showers or cryotherapy, may stimulate the body's stress response and improve immune function. However, this should be approached cautiously and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
4. Social connection: maintaining strong social bonds and connections with friends and family can positively impact mental health. Good mental health, in turn, can support immune function.
5. Probiotics and gut health: the gut microbiome plays a significant role in immune function. Consuming probiotics and fermented foods like kimchi or kombucha can help maintain a healthy gut, potentially benefitting the immune system.
Remember that while these methods might have potential benefits, they should complement, not replace, conventional practices for immune health. Consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your routine.

DIY Cough Drop Spray
No more fumbling in the bottom of your purse to find that lint-covered cough drop!
This DIY Thieves Cough Drop Spray is perfect for when you have a little tickle in your throat and don't necessarily need a full cough drop. And even better...you can recycle an empty 15mL essential oil bottle to make it!
Recipe:
1 Thieves Cough Drop
1 empty/clean 15mL essential oil bottle with orifice removed
Distilled water
1 spray top (you can find these on Amazon)
Crush the cough drop in the wrapper, then place the bits inside the 15mL bottle (I like to use an empty Thieves or Lemon bottle). Top with distilled water and add the spray top. Let sit until the cough drop bits are dissolved. Spray as needed into back of throat.
