Ginseng
Ginseng "In traditional medicine, the roots, stems and leaves of the ginseng plant have been used for maintaining immune homeostasis by regulating the immune cells," says Dr. Axe. "Ginseng also has antimicrobial properties and it works to defend the body against bacterial and viral infections." While you shouldn't have any trouble finding ginseng in tea form at your local supermarket, Dr. Axe recommends taking it in supplement form if tea isn't your thing. Take about 500 milligrams twice daily to score immune-boosting benefits as well as potential perks such as lowered blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
