Prep for Cold & Flu Season

How to Prep for Cold and Flu Season: Your Ultimate Guide

As Fall's chill arrives, so does cold and flu season. From dietary tips to natural remedies, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to keep illness at bay.

1. Boost Your Immune System

Eat a Balanced Diet:

A nutritious diet is your first line of defense. Focus on a variety of fruits and vegetables—citrus fruits like oranges, which are high in Vitamin C, while leafy greens, berries, and nuts provide essential nutrients and antioxidants. For personalized dietary advice, consider Nutritional Counseling from Happi Healing Wellness to optimize your diet and support your immune system.

Stay Hydrated:

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body well-hydrated. Herbal teas, such as Ginger Root Tea, are also beneficial for soothing the throat and providing warmth.

Explore Herbal Remedies:

Incorporate natural herbs like Elderberry, known for its immune-boosting properties; Ginger, which aids digestion and reduces inflammation; and Nettle, rich in vitamins and minerals. Jungle Mama offers a selection of herbal products to support your wellness.

2. Practice Good Hygiene

Handwashing

Regular handwashing with soap and water is one of the most effective ways to prevent illness. Encourage children to wash their hands before meals and after returning from public places.

Sanitize High-Touch Surfaces:

Disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched, such as door handles, light switches, and phones, to reduce the spread of germs.

Avoid Touching Your Face:

Minimize the risk of transferring germs by avoiding touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth.

3. Create a Cozy and Healthy Environment

Maintain Clean Air:

Use a humidifier to keep the air moist, which can help with dry throats and nasal passages. Ensure your home is well-ventilated and dust-free. Purify the space with Sage, which removes bacteria in the air. Add Menthol Crystals to your smudging routine to open up your nasal passages and allow to breath with ease.

Comfortable Bedding:

Opt for soft, breathable bedding and cozy up with warm blankets and flannel sheets to stay comfortable as temperatures drop.

Stock Up on Essentials:

Prepare for cold and flu season with Jungle Mama's immunity support products. Our Armadura Tea offers immune support, while the Cold & Flu Kit has everything you need to fight off, heal, and recovery from a flu. Don't forget the kids! As the kids go back to school, Kid's Amun Tea for the little ones prevents them from getting a cold. Keep menthol crystals and our Breathe Salve Chest Rub on hand for additional congestive relief.

4. Stay Active and Rested

Regular Exercise:

Physical activity strengthens the body and supports overall health. Explore virtual yoga classes with Happi Healing Wellness to stay active from home. Yoga can help improve blood circulation, stimulate your lymphatic system, and release tension and toxins from your body.

Get Plenty of Sleep:

Adequate rest is essential for a healthy immune system. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night to help your body recover and stay resilient. Drink Somni Tea before bed to ease your mind and relax your body into a deep sleep.

5. Be Prepared for Sick Days

Have a Plan:

Plan for possible sick days by having a strategy for managing work or school absences. Keep a list of trusted healthcare providers and ensure you have necessary remedies on hand.

Emergency Cold & Flu Kit:

Prepare an "healing kit" with our Cold & Flu Kit. This kit includes a range of remedies to help manage symptoms and provide comfort during illness.

By preparing in advance, you can navigate cold and flu season with greater ease and comfort. Stay cozy, stay healthy, and let Jungle Mama be your partner in wellness!
