Natural Alternative

Tips to Fend Off

The coronaviris outbreak has changed our lives dramatically. Most are experiencing the fear of becoming infected, running out of food and necessary supplies, and canceling events. The team at The Natural Alternative has been busy planning our big 25 Year Anniversary Appreciation Day in April, but we have decided to postpone it at this time. We do want the community to know that we are still here for you, taking every precaution to keep you safe as you enter the store, diffusing essential oils and continually wiping down the counters, merchant machine, and door handles. We are working hard to continue to restock all the necessities and have the following suggestions:

First of all, don’t panic! Stress lowers your immune response. Focus on deep breathing, try yoga at home, take a walk and notice the beauty surrounding you. Practice good hygiene such as washing your hands well — 20 seconds minimum! Eat healthy — support our local restaurants and order takeout soups, salads, barbecue and have a picnic at home! Avoid sugar and junk food which suppress your immune system for hours! Don’t forget vitamin C and zinc-rich foods: most fresh fruits and vegetables — make your plate colorful! Zinc-rich foods include animal proteins as well as pumpkin seeds (add to your healthy salads).

Antivirals to keep on hand: Elderberry, Colloidal Silver, Andrographis, Eleuthero, Astragalus, and more. We are doing our best to restock and meet your needs so please give us a call to make sure we have what you need in stock. Probiotics and Vitamin D support immune response. Cod Liver Oil contains both Vitamin A and D for added support.

Herbal tea with lemon and Manuka Honey (shop our tea section!) is not only warming for the soul but Manuka Honey has strong antiviral properties. Don’t forget your essential oils! Eucalyptus, tea tree, thyme, oregano, frankincense, and Thieves blend — strong antimicrobial properties — diffuse throughout the house!

If you are elderly or immune-compromised, always take added steps to avoid exposure. If you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, etc. please contact your healthcare provider. If you wish to place an order by phone, we are offering curbside service for added convenience. We are here for you!
