Why Is Practicing Self-Care Important?
Discover why self-care is important & how to create a checklist with daily activities that promote stress relief, better sleep, and more.
With the school year ramping up, it’s the perfect time to focus on ways to boost immune system function—especially for parents, teachers, and kids facing new routines and new germs. A holistic approach to wellness can help boost the immune system naturally while supporting the body’s ability to rest, recover, and stay strong. From chiropractic care to massage to immune system support supplements, there are practical, drug-free ways to help your body thrive.
Chiropractic adjustments do more than ease back or neck pain—they support nervous system function. Since the nervous system communicates directly with the immune system, keeping the spine properly aligned can help the body respond more effectively to stress, illness, and inflammation. Regular chiropractic care can also help improve sleep and recovery, both of which are key for staying healthy throughout the school year.
Children benefit from chiropractic care too. Gentle adjustments for kids are safe, effective, and tailored to their growing bodies. Families often notice fewer colds, better sleep, improved focus, and even support for things like bedwetting or digestion. It’s one of the most natural ways to boost immune system function in kids without medication.
Chronic stress can wear down the immune system. Therapeutic massage not only promotes relaxation but also improves circulation and lymphatic drainage—two important factors in how the body filters out toxins and defends itself against illness. Pairing massage with chiropractic care can give your body a strong, balanced foundation heading into fall.
Nutrition plays a major role in immune health, and Standard Process offers whole food-based options that support your body without synthetic additives. We often recommend Immuplex® for everyday immune function, Congaplex® for short-term immune challenges, and Cataplex® C for its antioxidant properties. These targeted immune system support supplements can be a simple yet powerful addition to your wellness routine.
