We want you to know that we are here to help with specific natural health advice at this time.
Omicron is on our minds today and we are expecting lots of changes over the next 3-6 months as it moves through our communities. The government has been preparing for up to 50 thousand cases per day which seems a staggeringly high number for NZ.
We have been preparing too, getting ready to provide expert naturopathic herbal advice to our community. Attending online seminars with colleagues from other countries with experience in this area has helped us understand what we can do to support patients in the weeks ahead. We fully support medical treatment, monitoring and preventative measures. Naturopathic treatment does not replace medical treatment for Covid 19 however, we can offer advice in addition to your medical team.
Getting prepared:
Having some key nutrients on hand can be a useful first step. Numerous clinical trials have shown that Vitamin C, Zinc and Vitamin D can influence the severity of viral infections. These can be useful to take now and/or to take at the first sign of infection, alongside specific anti-viral herbs to prepare the immune system. Eating, exercising and sleeping well is the best way you can support your immune system to stay strong at this time.
Support during an infection:
Herbs and supplements can be of great support at this time. Specific remedies can be used depending on how the virus affects you. You might expect to experience a cough, sinus congestion, fevers, headaches and gut upset. A key component of our supportive approach is to help the body settle after the infection and turn off the “Inflammasomes” which can lead to further health complications.
Support at the end and after the infection:
At this stage, we focus on a good immune system recovery so that it does not go into overdrive and lead to lingering viral symptoms and fatigue. Your gut may need additional support at this time. Remedies including medicinal mushrooms, probiotics and specific rejuvenating herbs can be used.
