Best herbs to boost my immunity
Author: Linda Sinden Date Posted:5 February 2020
You may have been wondering what you can do to boost your immunity to help protect you from viruses. Without a doubt the herbal combination I would recommend to help strengthen and support your immunity is:
- The Amrit Kalash duo of Nectar and Ambrosia
- In addition I would also suggest you take a special drink at bedtime too..
The Amrit Kalash duo of Nectar and Ambrosia
This potent anti-oxidant Rasayana has been called “The Nectar of Immortality”. With a unique blend of over 40 herbs and fruits Amrit Kalash Nectar and Ambrosia provide a wide range of antioxidants (including a natural form of Vitamin C) that help to enliven the underlying intelligence within your body. When the intelligence in the body is stimulated or enlivened Ayurveda explains the body is more easily able to create the life giving and immune protecting substance called Ojas.
Classical Ayurvedic texts explain that Ojas is the source of all life and when it becomes depleted life ends. Candice Pert, PhD at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) discovered that neurotransmitters act as carriers for the immune, nervous and endocrine systems and the emotions. Dr Pert’s description of how these neurotransmitters act, closely matches how Ayurveda describes ojas.
The two-part formula taken together supports and strengthens all levels of the body and mind promoting energy, immunity and general health.
- Amrit Kalash Nectar helps to strengthen the heart, mind and immune system.
- Amrit Kalash Ambrosia helps to strengthen the brain, nervous system and mental functions, helping to support, happiness, creativity, mental balance and refined awareness.
When should I take it?
Take 1-2 tablets of both Amrit Kalash Nectar and Amrit Kalash Ambrosia prior meditation or 30 minutes prior breakfast in the morning and prior the afternoon meditation or 30 minutes prior your evening meal.
When taking the Amrit formula people report they feel happier, resilient to stress, are more alert, creative, have more energy and feel less fatigued along with greater inner calm. Sounds good huh! Would you like some too?
