Strengthen and revitalize: A vital body is a happy body with good immunity

Let us remember that plants help us heal, prevent, rejuvenate and live a long life with all our capacities to fulfill our mission in this existence and leave a legacy that endures over time. Once we purify the body it is essential to nourish it. When we purify and detoxify ourselves there is an empty space, free, in which we must incorporate what nourishes us, invigorates us, what gives us longevity and harmony.

Also in times of weakness, of feeling low energy and diminished mood we can turn to practices that reconnect us with vital energy and allow it to flow freely in the body.

To be strong and vital, restorative sleep is essential, good nutrition, digestion and elimination, and cultivating the spirit. The brightness and luminosity in the eyes and in the gaze reflects the state of the Spirit (Shen in Chinese medicine, Ojas in Ayurveda). A joyful and vibrant spirit is related to good immunity. Our mind is calm, with perspective and we take responsibility for our lives. When we live from a position of victims, the spirit weakens and so does our psychoneural immunity, resulting in states of anxiety and depression.

I share with you some tips to keep in mind every day:

• Hydrate: Good hydration helps all body processes. Choose filtered or mineral water, at room temperature or warm. In case of dehydration take broths free of fat and a serum prepared at home.
• Reduce stress: Incorporate practices of meditation, breathing, yoga and drink infusions of relaxing herbs.
• Identify intolerances and allergies and decrease or eradicate for a time, if possible, their consumption.
• Integrate ferments as part of your diet. Start little by little and you will see how your digestive ecosystem becomes more diverse and strengthens.
• Listen to the urgency of your body. Go to the bathroom when you feel the need, thus you honor the natural cycles and rhythms.
• Help yourself with good nutrition and integrate healing plants that help revitalize your system

Vitality and longevity come naturally when the body vibrates in a state of harmony. Complement each day with infusions based on plants that help strengthen and revitalize. Include in your day moringa, turmeric, pepper, ginger, nettle and the virtues, oils, aromas and flavors of healing plants.
