I hope you're all not COVID'd out - I suspect an overdose of COVID posts is possible! However, this challenge doens't even have to mention the word - we all need to make sure our immune systems are supported in many ways, regardless of the existance of this world stopping virus. I learnt a lot reading the posts that responded to this challenge this week, as well as via my own study. The medicines that come up trumps? Ginger and licorice. There's many more, of course, but it was interesting to see how often these two plants appear in my readings.

What Did I learn About the Immune System in the Last 43 Years by @chrisaiki
I really loved what @solivinctus said about global remedies:
I find it fascinating how natural remedies from different countries around the world have managed to create unique blends of different natural elements, that have powerful protective effects on our bodies and immune system. It is so important that this knowledge and indeed, value, is not lost by modernisation. We need to preserve our global cultural heritage in all its diverse forms, from natural remedies to ancient practices from all corners of the globe; Tai Chi, Yoga, Xi Gong, Ayurveda, Meditation, which all hold powerful health fostering potential for us all in these troubled modern times. I think this is a great time for us to reconnect to the natural world and meditate on the principle of 'Less is More', where quality overrides quantity of the value and spaciousness this principle provides. Not only in the short-term, but more importantly in the long term. By preserving wisdom and essential knowledge in a meritocratic way, we place more importance on what matters for a transition towards a sustainable relationship with nature. In other words what contributes towards health and wellness not only for ourselves, but also our environment which we depend on for our health, is what we should focus on. Part and parcel of such a principle is the focus on positive energy and emotions like love, gratitude, joy, hope, and compassion that can help boost the immune system, rather than focusing on negative emotions like fear, worry and anger that might do the opposite.

A huge hug from @amico! 🤗

Thanks @amico, nice to see you back here!
Thank you, @riverflows! 🤗
Working on my post now! It’s a bit all over the place so I’m trying to gain some footing lol it’s more about health and immunity than it is about the big c.
Thank you so much for mentioned my article...
That post from @solinvinctus7125 made ME crave tahini too!! LOL.... It's cheap and plentiful here in Asia (where so much sesame grows) so it's on my list when we go out for food shopping tomorrow.
A great range of posts and contributions. Week 2 should be interesting....
As much as people are Covid-19'd OUT, let's remember that the big wide world out there is STARVED for relevant natural medicine content right now. It's our best time to engage around what the rest of the world is fixated on, and to connect with new contributors and bloggers. Practically, posting about toe fungus right now not gonna get much traction or readership either... LOL.
It's the Tahini Revolution !! All aboard the natural medicine express! 🚂
Now THAT's a revolution to get excited about!! 😋
Thank you so much! I look forward to writing next weeks article! Hip hip hoorah! 😁 🎉
Awesome. Sending your HIVE later this afternoon. Can you send me some tahini? ;p
Thank you so much, it feels great to have won something! I'm actually working on a tahini project where i might start exporting it around the world if i find the right supplier! hopefully i can send you some soon :))
Upvote and resteem
