Boosting your immune system and beat fatigue to regain vitality – the natural way

(from ‘Secrets of Youth & Beauty’)

The human body requires constant tender loving care and if we neglect it, we are unable to fight and defend ourselves against viruses. Vitamins A, B, C and D are all essential, as is protein. But it’s not just food that comes to our aid - essential oils are also important. Protecting us from disease and boosting our immune systems, they create a dynamic harmony between our mind and body, giving us back our lost energy.
Good immune boosting essential oils include: rosemary, marjoram, melissa, eucalyptus, ravensare, cajuput, angelica, tea tree, lavender, ginger, peppermint, lemon, grapefruit, thyme and ylang-ylang.

Beat Fatigue; Regain Vitality

Too much stress, over-exertion, alcohol or viral infections can all result in fatigue. Environmental pollution can also be a factor, but with the right food and exercise we can boost our energy. Active and attentive minds go a long way to beat that tired feeling and maintain our youthful looks, and relaxation helps too. Try a fragrant bath of essential oils or a vigorous massage - both will refresh the mind and revitalise the body.
