5 Herbs For Optimal Wellness
Posted on Jan 16, 2021

When you need relief from aches, pains, and seasonal illness, the first task on your checklist should be to build up your defenses. It’s necessary to strengthen your immune system, and it is easier now than ever to reach for natural solutions versus chemical ones.  

With a little research, you can find your most potent, most effective immunity boosters from fruits and veggies to berries and herbs – and we’re here to help narrow your search.


YOU NEED THESE HERBS IN YOUR SUPPLEMENT ROUTINE:


The number of fruits, vegetables, and herbs available to help round out your wellness is astounding. We know that it is tough to eat enough servings every day of vegetables and fruits to allow for proper immune function.

However, supplementation offers an alternative supply for your immune system. Today, we’re talking about the five main herbs that you can find in our Herbal Support Daily Supplement from Well Theory.

Elderberry

The Sambucus nigra berry originates from Europe and is found in many varieties, including the blue elderberry, dwarf elder, and American elder. In cooking, the berries can be eaten fresh or incorporated into syrups, pies, and jams, and they have been used medicinally for years in the treatment of viral flu, nerve pain, and infection.

Elderberries are naturally high in fiber, vitamin C, anthocyanins, and flavonols, making them essential for targeting inflammation and infection. Their antioxidant properties help fortify the immune system against illness and ward off oxidative tissue damage.

If you are looking to protect your immune system, respiratory system, bone health, and even balance cholesterol and blood sugar levels, reach for fresh elderberries or elderberry supplements.

Echinacea

Echinacea purpurea is a coneflower that comes from the daisy family. This pinkish, purplish flower stands out by its central cone that can extend dramatically from the flower’s petals.

Echinacea is rich in phenols, antioxidants, flavonoids, and rosmarinic acid. These compounds alleviate oxidative stress in the body, fight inflammation, combat weakness in the immune system, and fight off chronic diseases, including heart disease. This plant is thought to be especially useful in treating the common cold.

This herbal supplement can be ingested in a variety of ways, including powdered extract or liquid tinctures.

Though the plant can be eaten fresh or brewed into a tea, it is safest to take a regulated supplement to ensure you are getting the healthiest, most potent benefits from the flower.

QUERCETIN

This is a plant-based flavonoid found in fruits, veggies, and grains, like red onions, limes, and buckwheat.

Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, quercetin can play a large role in treating inflammatory conditions – including respiratory infections, heart disease, and arthritis.

Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant supplement that aids in fighting inflammation, allergies, damage from free radicals, and promoting better health overall.

Schisandra

The use of Schisandra berries, or Schisandra Chinensis, originates from traditional Chinese medicine. Thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Schisandra has been used to treat respiratory conditions, inflammatory liver, and heart conditions, and even alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

Schisandra is an adaptogenic herb for its ability to promote the body’s naturally ingrained balance systems for resisting stress, illness, and dips in energy. 

These berries are characterized for having five taste characteristics, being sour, bitter, sweet, savory, and salty – and can be consumed as a fresh berry, as a juice or elixir, or in a powdered extract.

Pine Bark Extract

Pinus pinaster, or natural pine tree bark, is ground into a powdered extract to be used as a daily supplement for strengthened immunity, brain function, and inflammation defense. It is most commonly taken from the French maritime pine tree.

Like our other herbal recommendations, pine bark extract is a fantastic way to supply the body with much-needed antioxidant support.

Pine bark extract can be an essential weapon against high blood sugar, cardiovascular disease, and common colds.

Find relief the natural way with these herbal powerhouses. It is always a good idea to talk first with your physician to make sure you find the best solutions to your wellness needs and then look for the natural options that are readily available.
