Boost Your Immune System!

Boost Your Immune System!

 

Jane, a new client, recently said, “A session with Deborah turned the tide for me! I was feeling lousy and thought I was getting a cold.”

 

Within a few minutes of starting our call, she felt relief from sinus pressure, headache, and achiness.

 

“…And then she gave me self-help acupressure flows to continue using for allergies and my Covid shot!

 

Those flows and energy tips keep on doing the trick, and I’ve had more energy than I’ve had in days. Now I see Deborah regularly, and my body is a lot happier with no aches and pain. I live hundreds of miles away from her, but those Zoom sessions are changing my life. I didn’t even have reactions after my second Covid vaccination!!

 

Deborah’s right! Boost your immune system, and your body will be happier!”

 

Energy balancing IS all about strengthening your immune system!

 

COVID brings the conversation about immune systems front and center. A stronger immune system will help you and your body resist germs and bugs, reduce allergy symptoms, potentially lessen reactions to vaccinations, and calm the nervous system.

 

There are healthy ways to strengthen your immune system

 

Harvard Health Medical School suggests that following general good-health guidelines is the best way to keep your immune system working properly. A few of the top strategies include:

  • Minimize stress.
  • Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables.
  • Exercise regularly
  • Get adequate sleep.
  • Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing your hands frequently.

Harvard Health study says stress can suppress your immune system, increase your susceptibility to illness, contribute to anxiety, and cause depression.

 

We can’t avoid all sources of stress in our lives, nor would we want to. But we can develop healthier ways of responding to them. Harvard Health recommends that breath and relaxation can make a difference in your wellbeing.

 

I’d like to show you how YOU can help your body let go of stress and not have it accumulate in your system.

 

Self-care Practice

A self-care practice teaches your body how to take care of itself and to be healthy and vital. While doing your self-help acupressure, you are also doing the following and a lot more–expanding breath, relieving pain, having more vitality for your daily activities, managing feelings, sharpening clarity and focus, increasing creativity and productivity.

 

Here are self-help acupressure energy tips to boost your immune system, relieve allergies, and help you move easily through your vaccination.

    • Left hand—hold fingers on the left chest below the collarbone
