As the weather grows increasingly colder, we are reminded once again that it is the season of unwanted coughs, sore throats, fatigue and sneezes. Clinic posters and TV advertisements daily prompt young and old to get their flu shot so as to protect from the contagious virus. It is worth remembering, however, that there are powerful natural alternatives that effectively guard from the flu without the risk of harmful side effects. We have listed below the top Nature’s Sunshine products that lend reliable support for a strong, defensive immune system during the Fall and Winter months.

Vitamin D3 Tablets
The flu is prevalent in regions and seasons where sunshine, an important source of Vitamin D, is in rare supply, while people in warm, sunny climates rarely contract the virus. A study published in the December 2006 issue of Epidemiology and Infection showed that those deficient in Vitamin D had weakened immune systems and were therefore more susceptible to the flu. A daily dose of Nature’s Sunshine’s Vitamin D3 supplement may help protect against the flu this winter.

Prevention (1 FL OZ)
The Prevention homeopathic medicine may help relieve and protect sensitive immune systems against influenza, colds, and bacterial infections.

Influenza Remedy (1 FL OZ)
The Influenza homeopathic remedy may help relieve minor influenza symptoms, including stomach and abdominal pain, body aches, chills, fever, bronchitis, cough and thirst.

Silver Shield Gel (3 OZ)
Colloidal Silver Shield Gel is a non-toxic means of providing powerful immune support against air born viruses. Apply a little of the gel inside each nostril when out in public places or take one teaspoon of our liquid variety internally.

We hope that with healthy eating habits, a diet high in antioxidants and quality immune support supplements, you pass through this entire cold season without so much as a sniffle. If you happen, however, to find yourself in bed with symptoms of cold or flu, consider the Flu Relief Power Plan.

A look inside.

Allergy season is here, so take a minute to review some quick facts on allergies!

Allergies are due to an overreaction of the immune system to environmental substances. Respiratory allergies can be caused by almost any airborne particle, but the most common triggers are animal dander, feathers, fabrics, dust, molds and pollen. Allergic rhinitis caused by a reaction to plant pollen is also known as hay fever.

When an allergen enters the respiratory system of susceptible individuals, it triggers an allergic response. Cells called mast cells (a type of white blood cell) release histamine, which sets off a series of events that cause swelling and inflammation. In allergic rhinitis, the resulting symptoms include mucus production, sneezing, congestion, runny nose and itchy, watery eyes.

Allergic rhinitis can affect individuals throughout the year but is particularly prevalent during the spring season (from late May to the end of June) and is referred to as seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Respiratory allergies can occur in conjunction with, and contribute to the development of, other conditions. These include asthma and sinusitis.

Nature’s Sunshine offers a variety of products that are commonly recommended to support the respiratory system as it battles seasonal allergies.
