The importance of acute treatment
We often treat acutely when clients are unwell with infection. This is an essential approach to help ease symptomatic relief and discomfort, alongside helping inhibit any further infection spread or onset of deeper infection within the body. Phytotherapy can help with providing relief and fast immune response support in those trying situations and for individuals with pre-existing poor health or disease.
The recovery stage – Do we need more support?
The later recovery stage of illness is commonly overlooked, as the acute symptoms have passed and clients begin to feel better, but is it too soon to stop taking supporting ingredients? Often, the immune system still needs time to recover and is tired, and white blood count activity alongside longer-term immune modulation or support may help in the long term with staying well.
When clients are run down, exhaustion may play a prominent role in getting sick, then the recovery stage is an ideal time to keep supporting a full return to health, allowing a fuller and more enhanced well-being state than pre-post viral infection. Encouraging the complete holistic picture of health including everyday lifestyle, diet, emotional and physical activities which are our client’s well-being ingredients, all help to support and nourish the post-viral infection recovery process.
We know during post-viral infection recovery it can be an exceptionally vulnerable time for many, the Epstein Barr virus is linked to CFS and there is often a seemly increase in secondary diagnosis of chronic disease after acute infection for certain individuals. Post viral syndrome can also act to hinder the recovery process for susceptible individuals. The trigger point for some, that may be a possible causation, is epigenetics and the invisible overload point. This is where disease is initiated after too much chronic stress including environmental load, while exhaustion plays a broad role acting as a main catalyst for chronic health issues or a silent driver of generic deeper disease states.
The post-viral recovery botanicals for wellness
Using phytotherapy to support the acute stage is part of the more immediate recovery stage, then supporting clients a little bit more in the silent recovery process (sometimes those next two weeks or more depending on the individual) is a crucial step in helping a more balanced and improved state of well-being.
There are unique herbs that are steeped in traditional use as anti-viral and recovery herbs, with additional powerful properties such as immune modulation, adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, demulcents and digestive stimulatory action. These are ideal options for clinic staples for additional post-viral infection recovery and extra support for improved wellness and patient outcomes.
