Autumn and Immunity: Natural Tips for Strong Health

With the Arrival of Autumn, Nature Transforms: temperatures drop, leaves fall, and everything prepares for a new season. Our bodies, just like nature, must also adapt to these transitions. If this adaptation doesn’t happen in a balanced way, imbalances can accumulate, leading to various health issues.

The Influence of Summer Heat on Autumn and Winter

If we haven't used natural resources to counter the excess heat during the summer, it can build up and affect our bodies in autumn and winter. This excess heat can cause excessive dryness, especially in the mucous membranes lining the respiratory and intestinal tracts. These membranes play a key role in our immune response, and when they become too dry, our bodies become more vulnerable to infections.

Heat also rises to the head, neck, and sinuses, creating a favorable environment for immune imbalances. Dr. Douillard, an expert in natural medicine, explains that this excess heat can manifest through various symptoms, such as dry sinuses, sore throats, hay fever, cold sores, and even digestive issues like bloating, gas, and constipation.

Signs Your Body is Unbalanced as Autumn Approaches

Here are eight signs that you may be imbalanced and more at risk of getting sick this season:

1. You suffer from seasonal allergies.

2. You experience heartburn or indigestion at the end of summer.

3. Your bowel movements are slower or drier.

4. You are more prone to cold sores.

5. Your skin, hair, nails, and sinuses are becoming drier.

6. You are more irritable or short-tempered.

7. You have recently caught a cold.

8. You notice weight gain or more abdominal bloating.

If you recognize even one of these symptoms, it's time to adjust your lifestyle to strengthen your immunity before winter.

Two Solutions for a Smooth Transition to Autumn

Solution #1: Eat SeasonallyAdapt your diet to the season. Favor the last harvests of green vegetables, apples, squash, and other local products. Eating seasonally helps your body better adjust to the changes.

Solution #2: Seasonal CleanseAn autumn cleanse is essential for the health of your mucous membranes and your immune system. By eliminating the excess heat accumulated during the summer, you can prevent imbalances.

Dr. Christopher recommends a three-day intestinal cleanse, a simple yet effective protocol to prepare for the autumn season. Get a simple cleanse here.
