Ashwagandha Root: The Miracle Herb for COVID-19

Blog / Healing / Herbs / Strong Body

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on our health, both physically and mentally. The world is still looking for a cure or a vaccine to fight this deadly virus. Scientists and researchers are working tirelessly to develop a safe and effective vaccine. Meanwhile, we can take measures to boost our immunity to protect ourselves from the virus. One such measure is to add Ashwagandha root to our daily diet. Ashwagandha root, a herb commonly found in India, is a natural immune booster and has numerous health benefits.

1. Boosts Immunity

Ashwagandha root is known to boost immunity by enhancing the body’s defense against infections. The herb stimulates the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting infections. Ashwagandha also increases the production of antibodies, which help the body recognize and fight foreign invaders, including viruses.

2. Anti-Inflammatory properties

COVID-19 causes inflammation in the affected person’s lungs, leading to breathing difficulties. Ashwagandha root contains anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation and ease breathing difficulties.

3. Anti-viral properties

The Ashwagandha root has antiviral properties that help protect the body against viruses like the flu and COVID-19. The herb helps inhibit the growth and spread of viruses by suppressing the virus’s ability to replicate.

4. Reduces Stress and Anxiety

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased levels of stress and anxiety worldwide. Ashwagandha root has adaptogenic properties that help the body cope with stress. The herb calms the nervous system, reduces cortisol levels, and improves the mood.

5. Maintains Blood Sugar levels

People with pre-existing medical conditions like diabetes are at a higher risk of getting infected with COVID-19. Ashwagandha root helps maintain blood sugar levels, reducing the chances of getting infected by COVID-19.

Ashwagandha root is a natural miracle herb that can boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and fight viruses. The herb can help protect our bodies against COVID-19 by strengthening our immune system and reducing stress and anxiety levels. Adding Ashwagandha root to our daily diet can significantly improve our overall wellbeing, both physically and mentally. However, always consult a doctor before adding any herbs to your diet or before trying any new supplements.

Grounding with Mother Earth: 7 Surprising Benefits of Earthing

Blog / Healing / Preservation / Sound Mind / Strong Body

Our ancestors lived in harmony with nature and constantly connected with the earth. However, progress and technological advancements led us far away from our natural environment. Nowadays, we spend most of our time indoors and disconnected from the earth. But now, science proves that re-connecting with the earth holds many health benefits. This is what we call “earthing” or “grounding”. Earthing is a simple and effective way to support a healthy lifestyle, and in this blog, we will look at the top 7 benefits of grounding with Mother Earth.

Reduces Inflammation

Inflammation is the root cause of many chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. Studies show that grounding can reduce inflammation by neutralizing free radicals and increasing antioxidants in the body. Simply put, earthing is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent.

Improves Sleep Quality

Grounding lowers electrical charges in the body and synchronizes circadian rhythms, or the body’s internal clock. This means getting grounded can help you sleep better at night and wake up feeling rested and refreshed.

Enhances Mental Health

Stress and anxiety are rampant in modern society. Grounding reduces stress in the body by lowering cortisol levels and increasing serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone in the brain. Earthing has also been shown to help with depression and PTSD symptoms.

Boosts Immune System

Grounding can actively boost your immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells, which are responsible for fighting infections and diseases. When you are grounded, your body has more energy available to fight against infections.

Relieves Pain and Inflammation

As we mentioned earlier, grounding has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. Thus, grounding has been found to be effective in relieving pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, menstrual pain, and other chronic conditions.

Regulates Blood Sugar Levels

Earthing balances the nervous system and helps to regulate the blood sugar levels. It also provides a calming effect on the body, which lowers the stress hormones that can contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes.

Balances Hormones and Improves Fertility

Grounding has been known to balance hormones and improve fertility in women. The stress-reducing effect of grounding can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve reproductive function.

In conclusion, earthing or grounding is a simple and effective way to enhance your overall health and wellbeing. From reducing inflammation to improving sleep quality, grounding with Mother Earth can help you feel better both physically and mentally. So, take some time to step outside and connect with the earth today. Your body will thank you for it!

Sugar: The Enemy of All

Sound Mind / Strong Body / Therapeutic / Uncategorized

I ran across this little gem recently. This author cut out sugar for one month and found amazing results. She not only halted the belly bloat she had been experiencing, but also found her acne stopped cold. There is also results that link sugar consumption to inflammation in the body. I am willing to give this a try. I will be updating with my results later.

Because I’m human — and my last name is Sugar — living 100 percent without treats really wasn’t an option. I found ways to get my sweet fix without it affecting my face (or my stomach). I discovered how to bake with bananas and dates, making desserts that are just as sweet as using white sugar, and I can still get my chocolate fix by using cocoa powder in recipes. Ice cream is easy — I just make nice cream using frozen fruit.

Here is a link to the article by Jenny Sugar. What a great name.

New Buzz Word: Inflammation, What Is It?

Healing / Maintenance / Strong Body

Everyone’s talking about inflammation and how bad it is……. but, do you know what it is, really? Here is a great article about it and how your diet can help reduce it. 

 

In broad terms, inflammation is the body’s immune system’s response to a stimulus.This can be in response to common injuries such as burning your finger, or falling off of a bicycle, after which you feel the affected area become red, warm, and puffy- this is a localized response to injury, characterized by ‘increased blood flow, capillary dilation, leucocyte infiltration, and production of chemical mediators.’In short, an inflammatory response means the innate (non-specific) immune system is ‘fighting against something that may turn out to be harmful.’
