Winter herbs: It's never too late to take

As the cold season begins, we are looking for ways to strengthen our natural defense to avoid colds and flu. Some of the things that can help us are herbs - they are natural, very effective and offer a variety of solutions for everything winter brings.

Sharon Kutz, founder of Bara explains what is actually happening to our immune system this winter. "Our immune system is challenged in winter, you can say more than other seasons," he said. "We see it, we're more sick during these times, more things happen to us. I mean, it has to adapt to the changing environment. We're closer to each other, the humidity is changing, the light conditions are changing and we're more exposed. ".

So how do herbs actually work on our bodies, how does it work?

"Herbs contain biological components, elements that contain molecules that are absorbed into our body into the bloodstream and reach certain areas that affect the whole body. Is related to our ability to adapt and our state of mind. "

"You can tailor it on your own level, in plants that we already know have been studied
They have a tradition many times in the context of treating common winter diseases. For example, echinacea or black sambok. "

A reaper demonstrates his words through the echinacea plant. "It's a very well-known plant that we also use for immunosuppressive purposes. They are also good for preventative purposes - that is, people who know they are exposed at a certain time and are taking it retrospectively, but can take it at a higher dose when they are already sick." According to him, "a plant like black sambok will help us during a viral illness when the heat is rising. It is advisable to use it very early."

Kotzter further explains that there are plant formulas that already contain several plants together and add substances such as thyme, thyme or even za'atar. "These plants will help us in a situation that we already have a more acute illness with cough and mucus. Their tradition in this is very long and they help us to increase this phlegm and shorten the disease time. Again, you should use as soon as possible."

Kotzter also says that the difference between herbs and regular medicines is that herbal medicines contain many components, whereas conventional medicine contains a single component. "Beyond all the glorious history of herbal medicine, medicine we all know today on the basis of plants but beyond that they have undergone a whole scientific revolution. We know much more clearly today how these substances are absorbed in the body, how they are excreted from the body and how they work on the systems. She says there are biological molecules that work on the immune system, work on the nervous system, work on the liver and secretion systems. " One of the important aspects of herbal medicine according to the short term is synergism - the ability to combine different plants with the drug. Different plants will work on different aspects of the body and together will have a stronger effect.

According to the herbalist, it is also a preventive effect and you should start taking the plants early, but they also help prevent complications so there is no time too late. "We have now released a new kit, so there are some products that call for immune, disinfectant effects. There is one Chinese formula called BI YAN PIAN found in every home in China. They use it for a very long time, and it really helps them deal with these kinds of illnesses."
