While I normally like to discuss the world’s most fabulous and nourishing foods, this month I want to mention one of the world’s most fabulous supplements. Okay, well, at least one of this office’s most fabulous and efficient supplements. Unless you’re new to this office, you have probably heard of Life Rising’s First Defense.
This powerful Chinese herbal supplement is absolutely one of the best measures to ward off the flu this season, especially when taken at early onset.
You know when you’re at work and you start to feel a bit achy, or when you wake up with a low-grade fever? That is when you need to grab your box of First Defense, open two packets to start, and quickly get it in your system!
Our favorite and preferred way to take it is with a very small amount of hot water, mixing in the granules to help them dissolve, adding just a bit of cold water to cool it down, and then quickly gulping it down. This concentrated method does taste much stronger then if you simply drink it in a glassful of water.
A few hours after taking your initial two packets, take another single packet. You should continue taking single-packet doses until you feel better. Once you feel better, take it for one more day for good measure.
I kid you not, this stuff is a miracle! My husband hasn’t been sick in years as a result of using this product, and even my extended family members—who prefer Western medicine—know and love this product dearly.
Now, when you come in to buy it, know that there are actually three different types of First Defense: There is FD-Cold, FD-Heat, and FD-Viral.
The way to know which one to take is pretty simple: FD-Cold when you feel cold, and FD-Heat when you feel hot. FD-Viral is used far less often and typically after the flu has started to set in.
If you do not already have one to two boxes of both FD-Cold and FD-Heat in your house, now is the time to come in and purchase them. If you have children away at college, include this supplement in their luggage when you send them back to school after holiday break. If you are new to this product, I cannot wait for you to try it. If you used this product long ago and have forgotten about its effectiveness, come by and grab some. I know you will love it!
