Whether you are fighting an infection now or want to be prepared for a future viral infection, I have put together some general tips on how to fight viral infections of many kinds at home and naturally.

Things you can do at home

• Rest: When it comes to viral infections, nothing works like rest. So, give your work and travel a rest and sleep. Sleep helps your body fight the virus and get better.

• High Body temperature: Bacteria & viruses do well when your body is at your normal temperature. But if you have a fever, it is harder for them to survive. Keep your body warm by layering up with blankets etc. Fever also activates your body’s immune system. You get a fever because your body is trying to kill the virus or bacteria that caused the infection.

• Hydration: Load up on fluids. Fever caused by a virus causes dehydration. Load up on water, soups, and warm broths.

• Garlic: Garlic in your soup will help your body fight the viruses. The allicin present in garlic has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Studies have shown that eating raw garlic can boost immunity against the virus. You can add it to salsa or mince it and add some olive oil or honey.

Natural compounds that fight viruses

• Green tea: Catechins present in green tea have been shown to inhibit the enzymatic action of the virus to reproduce further. Green tea has also been shown to boost immunity against various diseases. Hence, consuming green tea daily may help to reduce the viral load.

• Elderberry: The common elderberry has been used to reduce the severity and length of viral infections. Elderberry acts against the virus by binding to them and deactivating the virus.

• Echinacea: has become one of the top-selling herbs of all time; that’s because regular use of echinacea is beneficial for immune support and overall health. The phytochemicals in echinacea have shown the capacity to reduce virus infections and tumors.  

My team and I have developed a new supplement that combines all these and more anti-viral ingredients. Viroimmune plus is a supplement that contains natural and powerful vitamins & minerals that are proven to boost immunity and provide defense against viruses, bacteria and fungi.
