Did You Know. . .

There are so many ways to support your immune system in the coming months using integrative tools. With the fall season comes several old adversaries – cold, flu, and other communicable woes. Here are a couple of tips to help you stay a step ahead in the cooler months to come:

Make sure you are getting quality sleep.

From IHeLp Herbal Medicine Curriculum: A double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial of 110 adults with insomnia assessed the impact of passion flower on polysomnographic sleep parameters (Lee, 2020). Participants took either 80mg of oral passion flower extract or placebo nightly for 2 weeks. All subjects underwent overnight polysomnography and completed validated sleep questionnaires at baseline and again at 2 weeks. Compared to placebo, passion flower extract resulted in improved total sleep time (P= 0.049).

Eat an Anti-Inflammatory Diet and consider adding Asian mushrooms.
From IHeLp Anti-Inflammatory Diet Curriculum: Properly cooked Asian mushrooms such as Shiitake, Maitake, and Enokidake contain compounds that help enhance immune function.
