How to support health and immunity naturally

Good health and strong immunity are built over the long term through healthy habits — a balanced diet, exercise, sleep and quality natural supplements. In this article, we introduce several natural helpers that benefit our body and contribute to its better resilience. You do not have to add them to your diet all at once - it is better to try them gradually and find out which of them suit your needs. 

Natural salts

Chemicals are often added to ordinary table salt, which is why it loses minerals. Natural salts (Celtic, Himalayan, black) contain a wide range of substances, have a fuller flavour and can supplement minerals in the diet more gently.

Celtic salt

Hand-harvested on the coast of France, it is rich in minerals. It supports hydration and nerve and muscle function, and is also great in drinks or your morning water.

Himalayan pink salt

It is rich in iron and minerals, and its mild taste makes it suitable for everyday cooking and seasoning.

Black salt

It has a distinctive taste and aroma and is commonly used in Indian cuisine and vegan diets. It may support digestion.

Electrolyte drinks

Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium) are important for hydration, nerve function and muscles. During sport, hot weather or stress, electrolyte drinks help replenish minerals faster than plain water. Besides special drinks, you can reach for coconut or birch water, which are natural sources of electrolytes without excess sugar.

The gut as a second brain

The gut affects not only digestion but also mood, energy and mental well-being. Up to 70 % of immunity is linked to the gut microbiome. A diet rich in fibre, fermented foods and nutrients helps keep the microbiome in balance. Aloe vera, ume vinegar or herbal blends naturally support healthy digestion.

A Japanese green tea consumed as a powder made from the whole leaf,  contains a high amount of antioxidants (catechins). The combination of caffeine and L-theanine gives the body energy without sharp fluctuations and supports concentration, digestion and overall vitality.

​​​​​​​Dragon's blood

This dark resin from tropical trees is traditionally used for its regenerating and protective properties. It may help support immunity, the healing of minor injuries and the body's response to stress.

Aloe vera juice

Concentrated aloe vera juice contains vitamins, enzymes and minerals. It supports digestion, hydration and detoxification, helps nutrient absorption and contributes to better digestion.

Ume vinegar

It is a fermented product made from umeboshi plums and sea salt. It has a salty-sour taste and supports digestion and balance in the stomach. It can be used in dishes or as a morning ritual diluted in water.

Umeboshi – traditional Japanese plums

Fermented salty-sour plums, traditionally used to support digestion and the overall balance of the body. They can be used to season dishes, or you can add one teaspoon to a glass of lukewarm water and drink it in the morning on an empty stomach. 

Golden milk

A warming drink with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and black pepper. Turmeric has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and black pepper increases its absorption. Golden milk is popular as an evening ritual and supports restful sleep and digestion.
