If you're looking for a simple, traditional way to support your immune system naturally, this time-tested kitchen blend may be worth exploring. Made with everyday ingredients, this combination has been used for generations to help the body during seasonal changes, low-energy periods, and times when extra immune support feels helpful.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to prepare it correctly, how to use it responsibly, and what research suggests about each ingredient.


🌿 Ingredients for the Natural Immune Support Blend

  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped or grated

  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
