According to Dr. Zach Bush, “the number of viruses in the air is (1031) which is 10 million times the number of stars in the universe”. With a similar amount of viruses occurring in our soil and our oceans. In short, viruses are everywhere and they are an essential part of human life.
So why does “flu season” occur during Autumn every year? Dr. Bush explains that flu season occurs during high carbon exposure — after the leaves fall off and harvest is complete. So it is not because we are being exposed to more viruses during this time, it is because our bodies are changing how they respond to the environment.
The source of this information is from a podcast featuring Dr. Bush, which is one of the most conscious and unique perspectives regarding biodiversity, pollution, viruses and how it links to the current Covid-19 pandemic. I highly recommend tuning in if you are interested to learn more and expand your awareness.

How we can strengthen our immunity during this time
As COVID numbers rise and we become more susceptible to common colds and flus this season, it seems we are all wondering what we can do to be safe and best support ourselves and our loved ones. This is why I have been called to share some of the most effective holistic remedies to boost our immune systems NATURALLY. So let’s get right into it!
Top 5 Most effective HOLISTIC herb hacks
1. VITAMIN D & SUNSHINE
20 minutes of sunshine each day is enough to trigger our bodies to release around 200 microbials that naturally defend us from viruses and illness but in the winter we are wearing more clothes, getting outside less and UVB rays are lower in the northern hemisphere. Vitamin D is one of the most underrated vitamins for immune support without reason because science has proven how crucial it is for our immune systems!
What can we do? Continue getting natural sunshine in the cold seasons and try a Vitamin D supplement for extra immune Defense! Check the labels for allergens and unhealthy fillers. Here is a link to one that works great for me which is of mild potency and clean in ingredients — NOW Vitamin D-3
* please note if you are a vegan or vegetarian you will need to get a supplement without gelatin and bovine
2. CAT’S CLAW
One of the most effective herbs because it works to destroy bugs, viruses and bacteria and supports our immune systems as a whole so it is very beneficial for supporting us with a variety of illnesses. I would recommend this NON GMO liquid tincture from Herb Mama.
3. LIQUID ZINC
Great support for immunity, hormones, chronic illness and much more. This is a great option for preventing future illness too. Gentle on the body and can be taken often. I recommend Organic Plant Derived Zinc from Global Healing.
4. ELDERBERRY SYRUP
This is highly effective in shortening colds, breaking down mucus, and fighting viral and bacterial infections because it is rich in bioflavonoids. Children’s formulas are available, safe and gentle on the body. My recommendation is Gaia Herbs for Children and Gaia Herbs for Adults.
5. LEMON BALM
A potent antiviral and antibacterial supplement. My recommendation is from Oregon’s Wild Harvest in capsule form.
Top 5 Healing Foods and Drinks for immunity
- Fresh Lemon Water
- Raw Garlic & Raw Honey
- Fresh Fruits & Leafy Greens
- Ginger Tea or Water
- Cucumber & Celery Fresh Press Juice

Extra Tips
The best tea pack that has a variety of effective immune supportive pre-made teas is the Seasonal Sampler from Traditional Medicinals. Of course, vitamin C is also supportive. As well as, staying hydrated during dry cold months and getting some form of daily exercise.
The recommendations listed above come from someone (myself) who is very picky about the ingredients, cleanliness and effectiveness of products. We all have different diets, allergies and preferences so please do read about the supplement before purchasing.
If you are already feeling ill or right at the onset of a sore throat or congestion — gargle with Warm Himalayan Salt Water 3 times a day and purchase or use a NETTI POT. This device is amazing for flushing our sinuses and killing bacteria very quickly! I recommend having one of these at all times in your home. Here is a link to a full set by Himalayan Chandra. Porcelain and ceramic pots are best to avoid chemicals and reduce the overproduction of plastic.
practice immune support as a preventative measure
If you are currently feeling healthy, now is a great time to start boosting your system. Oftentimes, we wait until we are very sick to start taking traditional “medicine” like Nyquil or Musinex which is filled with harmful chemicals and only provides us with temporary relief.
Support your roots sweet Tribe! Nurture your body versus suppressing your symptoms! Start ahead of time to prevent and lower your chances of becoming ill. I hope this article has served you today.
Please share this with as many people as you can!
We could all use the extra support right now.
With love always,
