Improve your Immunity During Cold and Flu Season

As winter settles in, so does the season of sniffles and sneezes. Navigate the cold and flu season by building up your immunity and resilience thanks to local businesses offering wellness elixirs and treatments. Explore treatments and remedies designed to keep you thriving all winter long.

Wellness Shots

Elevate your defense against winter woes with Healthy Being Juicery & Cafe‘s wellness elixir shots. As owner Jessica Vandenbroeke puts it, “Our ginger immunity shots at Healthy Being are a key element in any wellness prevention program and they’re also great at helping you feel better when you are actively fighting an illness.” Made from freshly pressed ginger, turmeric, lemon and cayenne, these shots pack a hot, gingery punch and are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. The combination of these ingredients may work wonders in reducing inflammation and giving your immune system the boost it needs to ward off those seasonal bugs.

IV Therapy

Fortify your immune system with Remède Co.‘s IV therapies, available in-office or in the comfort of your home, hotel room or vacation rental. Safe, gentle and minimally invasive, their River Run hydration therapy is considered their recovery drip, as it’s ideal for treating fatigue, altitude sickness, cold and flu, food poisoning, migraine, jet lag and hangover symptoms. The key nutrients included in this drip are vitamin B complex, methylcobalamin, vitamin C, selenium, magnesium, zinc and glutathione. Whether you’ve been hitting the slopes or just braving winter’s chill, this drip is a rejuvenating infusion that can help you stay resilient against seasonal illnesses.

To further replenish your body and enhance immune function, consider the Super Immune Booster Drip. This IV therapy combines high-dose vitamin C, zinc and other immune-boosting nutrients to provide a potent shield against cold and flu viruses. The direct infusion ensures rapid absorption, allowing your body to quickly absorb the benefits and gear up for the challenges of winter.

Spa Treatments

Escape the winter chill and give your immune system a boost at Snow King Resort’s Grand View Spa. Picture this: you’re wrapped in the warmth of the infrared sauna, letting the gentle heat penetrate your body and kick your immune defenses into gear. Then, in the halo therapy salt chamber, you inhale the healing properties of salt, known for its respiratory benefits. Feeling refreshed, you step into the spa’s steam shower, letting the warm mist envelop you, further enhancing your body’s ability to fight off those seasonal bugs.

But it doesn’t end there – at Grand View Spa, they’ve got more tricks up their sleeve. Sip on a cup of herbal tea, packed with antioxidants that will support your immune system. And for the ultimate pampering experience, indulge in a salt scrub or aromatherapy massage to soothe both your body and mind. Top it off with a rejuvenating facial, and you’ll leave feeling not only relaxed but also ready to tackle the winter with a strengthened immune system. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., explore the spa’s full menu of services here.

Her appetite for adventure is the only thing that rivals her passion for food. She has always used writing to document and critique her travel and dining experiences. Her warmest memories among family and friends have been associated with the food that was at the center of the occasion. From staging cooking shows with siblings to perfecting turtle brownies with her dad, today Sam enjoys connecting people over food by hosting cookie decorating parties, wine pairing nights, and Midwest-inspired potlucks. A dessert fanatic, she has come to impress friends and family with key lime pies, Oreo bon bons, and Snickers ice cream cakes that are far simpler than they could ever imagine. Shhh! Don’t tell.
