Judging by the last several months, it’s become clear that we haven’t been doing enough to OPTIMIZE our immune systems.

Americans are getting SICKER than any of us can ever remember

But it’s important to remember one thing.

We are NOT defenseless.

And we DON’T have to let infections and diseases TAKE US DOWN.

Today I’ve got just ONE example of an ancient remedy that could help SHORE UP your defenses.

It’s a “helper herb” for your immunity on its own…

But I’ll also show you how there’s a way to make it work even BETTER.

UNLOAD viruses and more

Used for over 4,000 years… most notably in the ancient medicinal practice of Ayurveda…

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the best-researched adaptogens out there.

Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha help you deal with not only mental and emotional stress… but also physical stress.

So, it should come as no surprise that in addition to CALMING your nerves… ashwagandha can also help BOOST your immune defenses!

Research shows how it can protect you against infections… and perhaps even shield you from the scourge of cancer!

But the best part is, ashwagandha helps stimulate your immunity JUST ENOUGH!

It TRIGGERS the action of white blood cells to fight off pathogens…

While it REINS IN excessive inflammation-producing cytokines that can make you feel really sick.

Now, Ayurvedic practitioners may combine dried ashwagandha root with a liquid… like olive oil, ghee, or even beer… in a concoction called anupana in the Sanskrit language.

The theory is that the liquid acts as a kind of “carrier” for the herb… helping to catalyze its action.

Perhaps the most common practice is to boil ashwagandha in milk – and I’m talking about the real stuff, from cows (which the Hindu tradition considers sacred).

Modern-day research has confirmed the theory behind this traditional use…

Finding that consuming ashwagandha milk was associated with an increase in 2 different types of infection-fighting white blood cells.

That’s right – ashwagandha boiled in cow milk helped ramp up both natural killer (NK) cells and T helper cells.

Even better, a study out of Egypt published last year found that ashwagandha extract helped REDUCE the viral load of cells infected with hepatitis C.

Look for ashwagandha root extract in capsule or tablet form at your local health food store or online.

You can also find ashwagandha tea in prepared form… and consider adding milk!

To rallying the troops,
