Getting sick is awful. It throws off your whole routine and touches every part of your life. But there's truth in the old saying, "prevention is the best medicine." Here are five natural, time-tested practices that may help support your body before illness ever has a chance to take hold.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that's been practiced for thousands of years. It works by targeting specific pressure points throughout the body, and many people use it as part of a broader wellness routine to support overall balance. Look for a licensed acupuncturist in your area — many wellness studios and integrative health clinics offer sessions.
Rebounding
Rebounding is a simple, low-impact way to get your body moving first thing in the morning. All you need is a small trampoline. A few minutes of gentle bouncing paired with deep breathing is an easy, affordable way to start your day energized
Epsom Salt Bath
A warm Epsom salt bath is a relaxing ritual many people turn to for a sense of reset. Run a warm bath, stir in a cup of Epsom salt, and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil — lavender is a classic choice for its calming, grounding scent. For an extra touch, add a little ground ginger and baking soda.
Pair this ritual with our Lavender Essential Oil for the ultimate calming soak
Juicing
Fresh juice is a delicious way to pack extra nutrients into your day. Mix and match any of these:
• Apples
• Carrots
• Oranges
• Grapefruit
• Tomato
• Kale
• Turmeric
• Celery
• Beet
• Strawberry
• Mango
• Ginger
• Kiwi
• Watermelon
• Mint
• Pumpkin seed
• Spinach
• Lettuce
• Chia seeds
Play around with these ingredients until you find combinations you love. Many of them are naturally rich in iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, folate, and vitamins A, B6, C, and E.
Herbal Teas
There's nothing easier than a warm cup of herbal tea to wind down and support your routine. Sipping tea after meals is a simple daily habit worth building. Some favorites include jasmine, mint, lemongrass, cinnamon, and ginger.
