How to Maintain a Healthy Immune System with Nature and Essential Oils

Your immune system will always be relevant, essential, and necessary to prevent disease and maintain a healthy existence!

Your immune system is your first line of defense, it's illogical and unrealistic to believe that we can keep pathogens at bay by living in a highly sanitized, over medicated world. Not all bacteria is harmful and a large part of our DNA is viral.

Start by embracing your undeniable symbiotic relationship with nature:

•   Learn to use essential oils for infections, stress, sleep and pain relief
  

• Less Pharma, more plants
  

•   Practice gratitude: sleep better, be better, feel better
  

• Get rid of harmful, fake scents in your home - in laundry detergent, soap, candles, etc etc. Fake fragrances are endrocrine disruptors.
  

• Hug a tree - literally, hug it. Trees
  

• Stand barefoot on unsprayed grass, dirt and/or in a stream or the ocean - soak in the earths grounding life force and send your life force back into it.
  

• Get a pet, invite them indoors

Trees are Good For Health in One Small Unexpected Way

This 2021 Study showed that distinct layers of bacteria form in the air, with different species and quantities of microbes occurring at different heights. At the average head-height of a standing adult, there were fewer but also different kinds of bacteria compared with those in the air lower down at the head height of a child or sitting adult.

Exposure to lots of different types of microbial life, particularly in childhood, is generally considered to be a good thing, because it allows our immune systems to build up a strong army of cells that protect us from pathogens.

The greater number of microbial species we detected closer to the ground could be vital in ensuring children develop robust immunity later in life.

But it also matters which environments we spend time in. After collecting 135 samples, we found that the air in the wooded areas of an urban park near Adelaide in Australia contained more bacterial species but fewer potential human pathogens than nearby sports fields.

Trees appear to filter the microbial communities in a given airspace, reducing the risk of exposure to microbes that cause disease. Because trees also seem to increase microbial diversity in the air, allowing more of them to grow in urban areas could provide an important health benefit by enhancing our immune systems.
