- Echinacea Premium – “I take one a day myself to keep my immune system strong.”
- Andrographis Complete – “An antibiotic and antiviral herbal supplement used when you are already sick, to help get you over the hump.”
- Cataplex D – “Vitamin D support in case you’re not getting out in the sunlight. Helps boost the immune system.”

How Acupressure Can Boost Your Immune System AND Lower Your Stress And Anxiety
Other ways you can help lower your stress and anxiety is by practicing acupressure! Click here to learn acupressure points that can boost your immune system.
Ear seeds are small seeds used to stimulate pressure points in your ear, which is known as acupressure. It’s based on the same general principles as acupuncture. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your health is dependent on the flow of Qi (energy) in your body. Ear seeds are placed on certain points, usually along meridian lines, to help clear up any Qi blockages. In TCM, resolving these blockages may help with a variety of health conditions (including stress and anxiety!).
