Living Medicine to boost our immune responses to viruses, coughs and colds
Join Living Medicine’s Alex Laird from her kitchen where she will explain how we can use foods, herbs, and spices to boost our immunity. She will explain how plant phytonutrients work in our bodies and how to make effective remedies – with long-infused teas, a throat spray, and immune-boosting soup.
