17. Astragalus Root
This herb works by improving and strengthening the immune system. You can take this herb as a capsule supplement, tincture, or by adding this herb fresh to soups or salads. This is one herb that is best used as a preventative measure, so take this herb before you go Christmas shopping or to large parties, or before you get on an airplane.
18. Cranberry
The juice from cranberries is known to be a strong defense against urinary tract infections because it makes the lining of the bladder and the urinary tract itself too slippery for the bacteria to hang on to. Perhaps cranberries best feature is that it is packed with antioxidants and antiviral compounds. It also stops plaque from forming on the teeth, so consider drinking a glass every day, then rinsing your mouth before brushing every day or after each meal for a healthier smile.
