What does a naturopathic physician do to boost their immune system from the corona virus?

 

 

With lots of media frenzy and fears around the Corona virus, I wanted to make you all a video and recipe about what I do as a naturopathic physician to help protect and nourish my family. Here is one delicious recipe you can try at home to boost your family’s immune system!

Immune Boosting Jello Recipe:

 

By Lauren Gresham, ND, MPH

Ingredients:

6 cups of filtered water, with 5 cups in a pot and one cup in a bowl

6 heaping tablespoons of organic beef gelatin (in the video, I only use four, but I should have used more!)

2 tablespoons rosehips

3 tablespoons dried immune mushroom powder (reishi, shitake, turkey tail, cordyceps, maitake)

3 cups frozen berries

3 peeled oranges

3 tablespoons mint mixture (rosemary, lavender and mint)

2 tablespoons hibiscus flower

3 tablespoons Bill Mitchell’s berry concentrate

2 tablespoons echinacea glycerite

2 tablespoons astragalus tincture

3 tablespoons black elderberry syrup

6 tablespoons honey (I verbally say 7, but it was actually six)

4 drops of stevia extract

 

  • Mix 4 heaping tablespoons of beef gelatin into 1 cup of cold water and stir. Allow this mixture to get gooey and then add to your other six cups of water in a pot.
  • Stir mushroom powder into pot.
  • Add rosehips into a linen tea bag and float in pot. I skewer my tea bags with a chopstick to keep them from sinking and opening in the pot.
  • Add frozen berries into pot.
  • Boil mixture for 8-10 minutes and then remove from heat.
  • Blend three oranges and ½ cup liquid from pot in a blender. Add to pot.
  • Add mint mixture and hibiscus to linen teabags, skewer with a chopstick and float in pot.
  • Add berry concentrate, echinacea, astragalus, black elderberry syrup, honey and stevia and stir mixture.
  • Strain tea bags and remove.
  • Pour into shallow glass container, cover and gently place in fridge. Wait a few hours until the jello sets. Eat and enjoy!
