Put down the brownie!
Seriously…they are so, so yummy. However, the sugar and the processed junk in them - including the flour and processed sugar in your homemade brownies - will weaken your immune system.
Store-bought brownies are even worse! Yuck!
I know that comfort foods are usually junk foods, and who doesn’t crave some comfort right now?
But…
You NEED a strong immune system.
This is always the case, but it’s more important now than ever before.
Sugar Puts Your Immune System Cells in Time Out
Sweets like brownies spike your blood sugar level. This creates an environment that viruses and other harmful microbes absolutely love. They thrive in these conditions.
They also decrease the immune response.
The immune system cells attack viruses and bacteria. That’s their game. They hate increased sugar levels. When you down a couple of sugary drinks, or a brownie, they get benched for at least a few hours.
The Killer Combo: Malnourishment & Obesity
If you keep filling your belly with more sugar and processed junk, you will become malnourished. Malnourishment isn’t just for the starving and underweight (God Bless Them). Many overweight people are deficient in essential nutrients too.
In fact, in a world full of processed foods and refined sugars, obesity and malnutrition go hand-in-hand.
Your Food Can Be Poison or Medicine for Your Immune System
Nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc are crucial for a strong and healthy immune system. You can get all of them through supplements or food.
In my humble opinion as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, it is more effective to use food as your medicine and get the required nutrients from your food.
Foods Rich in Vitamin A
Good food sources of vitamin A are animal proteins, liver, eggs and fish. If meats aren’t your thing, you can get plenty of vitamin A in orange sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, spinach, kale, dried apricots, melon, spring greens, and more. Google it!
Foods Rich in Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an essential fuel for your immune system. Humans actually used to manufacture megadoses of it in their bodies, especially if their health was under attack. Most plants and animals still do this. Exceptions include bats, guinea pigs, and domestic dogs and cats. Some researchers speculate that this could be the reason so many wild animals don’t suffer from many diseases like people do.
Foods that give you vitamin C are:
- Citrus fruit
- Broccoli
- Kale
- Cauliflower
- Bell pepper (green or yellow)
- Cantaloupe
- Strawberry
- Kiwi
- Most plant-based foods
You need about 8-10 servings of vitamin C per day. This loosely translates to 4-5 PACKED cups of fruits and vegetables.
Foods Rich in Zinc
Zinc is most plentiful in oysters. Personally, yuck (again).
Oysters are not in every grocery store, especially now.
Luckily, zinc is also available in meats, shellfish, nuts, seeds, eggs and…
drum roll please…
Dark chocolate.
I don’t mean candy bars. Those aren’t even real chocolate. I mean bitter, real, dark chocolate with no added flavors or added sugars. If you get your hands on real chocolate, limit yourself to one section per day.
Dark chocolate also has magnesium in it. Magnesium is good for the nervous system, and it helps keep you regular if you know what I mean.
Cooking Spices for Your Immune System
The weird times we’re in provide a great opportunity to cook at home and eat well. Don’t forget to add herbs and spices to make things interesting.
Some good spices to fight viruses and help your immune system are:
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Rosemary
- Chili pepper
- Oregano
Flavoring your food with antiviral spices is a win-win!
Don’t Forget the Turmeric
Turmeric contains antioxidants called curcuminoids. The most well-known curcuminoid is called curcumin. They neutralize free radicals that cause aging and that make you more vulnerable to illnesses. Curcuminoids help your immune system in other ways, too.
When I said it’s best to get your nutrients from food sources, I was overgeneralizing.
The turmeric on your spice rack contains curcuminoids, but you never know how much you’re going to get from it. It’s just not standardized for these antioxidants.
If you want to be sure of how much of these compounds you’re getting, then you need a supplement that is standardized for curcumin and the other curcuminoids.
Shreem Brzee Turmeric is an organic supplement made by Nambu Botanicals. It is a turmeric extract that is standardized to contain 95% curcuminoids. It retains the essence of turmeric in concentrated form. You can be sure you’re getting a higher dose of these powerful antioxidants than you normally would if you picked up some ground turmeric at the store and threw it in a stew or a curry.
Tip: The best way to maximize your curcuminoid intake is to take Shreem Brzee Turmeric with a food that contains fat. This will multiply the curcuminoids your body absorbs and uses to keep you healthy.

What Makes Shreem Brzee Stand Out from Other Turmeric Extract Supplements?
In accordance with ancient Ayurveda and Siddha Medicine tradition, Nambu Botanicals infuses Shreem Brzee Turmeric with sacred sounds. This turmeric extract is infused with the prosperity mantra, Shreem Brzee. Lakshmi is the Goddess behind both turmeric and the Shreem Brzee mantra. Lakshmi is said to dissolve poverty consciousness and help us attract abundance.
This is why Dr. Pillai founded Nambu Botanicals. He wanted to revive this lost art that used to be so integral to Siddha Medicine.

We’re almost through winter in the Northern Hemisphere, but cold viruses are still making their rounds. You can beat colds, or even prevent them altogether, by keeping your immunity high with herbs, water and making a few small changes to your daily routine.
Our favorite immune-boosting herb is the "golden goddess," TURMERIC. While Turmeric may not wipe out your cold or flu symptoms, it is packed with antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds (3) that can prevent them. Turmeric is also known to improve moods and boost motivation, and you may especially appreciate this during winter. Use Nambu’s PHONEME-INFUSED™ HI-HEALTH TURMERIC regularly and use turmeric liberally when you cook.

Cold & Flu-Busting Tips
Get Plenty of Sleep
There aren’t many things that break down the immune system faster than sleep deprivation. Get to bed at a good hour and enjoy those ZZZ’s.
There aren’t many things that break down the immune system faster than sleep deprivation. Get to bed at a good hour and enjoy those ZZZ’s.
Meditate
Meditation is one of the best things you can do for your immune system, whether you have a cold or not. A 2012 University of Madison study found that eight weeks of regular mindfulness meditation lowered instances of missed work, colds, and severity of colds over the following 6-7 months.
Drink Lots of Water
Water protects you from the cold air, which removes moisture from your body. It helps you with digestion, cognition and other body functions as well, including your immune system (2). You’re less likely to get the urge for a glass of water or an herbal tea in the winter, but it’s well worth the effort.
Don't settle for the ordinary TURMERIC you can find at any health store. Uplevel your benefits with Nambu's elite PHONEME-INFUSED™ HI-HEALTH FORMULA. Via our unique process, our formula is energized with sound vibrations that support positivity and motivation. We also add black pepper extract (piperine), which is known to increase your body's ability to absorb curcumin -- Turmeric’s most famous healing compound -- by up to 2,000% !

Drink Echinacea & Ginger Tea or Fire Cider
There are many teas you can make to boost your immunity. Ginger, Tulsi and echinacea are popular ones. Ginger, lemon and honey is a great tasting combo for tea. If you have a cold, try a Fire Cider tea with cayenne powder, ginger, lemon, honey and garlic. Add just enough cayenne for it to burn but not overwhelm. You can use echinacea, goldenseal or Tulsi separately for extra microbe-fighting power.
Winter’s almost over. Stay well and happy spring!

By now, you’re familiar with TURMERIC's many benefits. Turmeric helps prevent cognitive decline, reduces inflammation, and neutralizes free radicals that harm your body and mind. (1)(2)(3)
But sprinkling Turmeric powder into your tea is not enough.
You need to activate your Turmeric to fully absorb the beneficial nutrients.
You activate your muscles when you realize you’re 30 minutes late for work or Siri on your iPhone when you’re in a bind. But spices?
YES! Let’s get those neurons growing, shall we?
Why Activating Turmeric Is A Must!
CURCUMIN, the active ingredient in Turmeric, delivers Turmeric's primary health benefits.
Commercial bio-curcumin supplements offer curcumin at a high dose. But studies show both curcumin and turmeric have low absorption rate and, therefore, a rather low bioavailability. This means the good stuff is in there, but our bodies struggle to access it.
Most curcumin is absorbed directly into the lining of the liver and stomach wall, as opposed to the bloodstream, where we reap the greatest health benefits. But, if you ACTIVATE Turmeric with ingredients like piperine -- a special black pepper extract -- your body can absorb an amazing 100x the nutrients! (4)(5)
And wait - there's more! All NAMBU BOTANICALS formulas take activation one important and unique step further. Via our proprietary PHONEME-INFUSION™ process, our formulas are energized with specific sound vibrations (according to ancient Siddha medicine tradition) for maximum efficacy.

The Vedic and Tamil lunar astrological calendars divide each lunar month into 30 parts, called tithis. There are 15 tithis from the New Moon to the Full Moon and vice versa.
The 11th Moon, which is just a few days before the New Moon or Full Moon, is a wealth powertime called Ekadasi. Today is an 11th Moon day.
11th Moons are ruled by Vishnu, who is the archetype of wealth and of the preservation of ancient wisdom. It is said this is the day when the Moon heightens our ability to concentrate, which is why people fast on 11th Moons while connecting with Vishnu through meditation.

It is said that Vishnu resides in Tulsi (Holy Basil). So does Radha, who is Krishna’s lover. Krishna is a form of Vishnu who, with Radha, represents perfect devotion, the ideal relationship with a human partner and with the Divine, spiritual and material bliss/fulfillment, the eradication of poverty consciousness, and other great things.
In Vedic ceremonies to Krishna, Radha, and Vishnu, people give offerings of Tulsi leaves. Tulsi is said to bring prosperity blessings. It also opens the Heart Chakra for greater compassion and patience while decreasing stress hormones.
In light of the above, you can think of 11th Moon as a Tulsipowertime. Some traditions state that Tulsi, the Goddess, is fasting during 11th Moons, and that you should not harvest her leaves on that day.
Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul
now become the meaningful language of nature." -- Rudolf Steiner
One of Steiner’s principles revolves around lunar phases, as the phases of the Moon help determine the metabolism of plants as well as water absorption and growth rates. Moon cycles can help you determine when to plant, transplant or harvest particular crops, when to add compost and more.
You can think of these as powertimes.
India is also making a big comeback with farming practices in tune with the cycles of nature, including lunar cycles and wisdom from Vedic Astrology. They are using principles revealed by the old Rishis (Seers) as well as developments in western biodynamic and organic farming. Many have brought mantras back intopractice of planting, cultivating and harvesting.
Nambu’s Love and Grace Tulsi is infused with special sounds in observance of these ancient traditions, particularly the Siddhas of Southern India. These sounds support the Heart Chakra and compassion.

The Guru’s Birthday is the greatest day of the year to receive his blessings. The Guru can give you miracles to resolve any problem or bring you any blessing.

Dr. Pillai is a Siddha master and expert in the ancient process of energizing herbs with sound, as practiced by yogis and mystics according to closely-guarded Siddha tradition for decades. Dr. Pillai founded Nambu Botanicals in order to share of sound-infused herbs with humanity.

Swami Ramalingam is the Siddha Yogi and poet best-known for turning his body into light in front of 100 devotees and government officials in 1874. What was his point?
His point was to tell his devotees, you, and everyone else that you and God are one, not two. The separation is the result of an illusion that matter is solid. That solidity is just an interpretation. When we can overcome it, we can become light just like the Swami.
Mystics of every religion and spiritual path have been saying this for millennia. You’ll find it in the poetry of Rumi, the Sufi poet, and Kabir, the 15th century Indian poet. Numerous Catholic Saints have also expressed this.
“My I is God, nor is any other self known to me except my God.” - Catherine of Genoa, Catholic Saint, 15th Century Italy
“What matters is your realization that you are emptiness, you are God, and that is the truth. Everything else is the untruth.Who you are is God, unlimited consciousness, and that is your Real Self. But you are subjected to maya (illusion) and ego that seem to be real, not emptiness. The time has come for you to realize that.” - Dr. Pillai, Founder of Nambu Botanicals, Pillai Center for Mind Science, & Astroved
The Herb for Realizing the Light Body
Dear Nambu Botanicals,
The Enlightenment formula is pure vibration. Almost magically, I am so much more aware of the more subtle realms. I am experiencing my inner sight with my god self more often.
The pure vibration of the enlightenment formula is clearing and raising lesser vibrations away! By just taking this magical Herb.
The first two years of taking eclipta alba, I used a very good Hindu-prepared formula from India and it was great.
The enlightment formula is an even more subtle vibration and is clearing and is raising my vibration more quickly.
Nambu Botanicals and Dr.Pillai, I am truly grateful.
Thankfully, Love and Light to you. Om Nama Shiva Ya.”

“You must have these to help with your journey here. Since taking these I have become more intuitive and my dreams are very vivid I love them I'm on my second bottle.” - Omega F, Verified Buyer
Swami Ramalingam was embodied as a 19th Century Siddha poet and Saint in Tamil Nadu, India. When British scientists came to visit him, he astonished them by turning his body into light.
One of his secrets was the herb, Eclipta Alba, also known as Bhringaraj. It’s the main ingredient in Nambu’s Enlightenment Formula. For the two years leading up to the moment he first turned his body into light, Swami Ramalingam regularly took Eclipta Alba, water and one grain of rice.
Instead of founding a religion, the Saint preferred to embrace the essence of all religions and teach others how to experience it. He called it the Universal Path. At the center of this path is the Grace Light, which is your true nature. You experience it when your Soul realizes itself.

Swami Ramalingam’s Grace Light Mantra
Pronunciation: AH-rool PAY-room JOH-tee, tah-NEE PAY-room kay-roo-NAY
To be even more accurate, think of the ‘l’ in Arul as a soft t. It’s the lazy t sound when your tongue’s tip doesn’t rise up to touch your front teeth.
This mantra melts unwanted karma and brings the realization of your true nature, which is light, omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, deathlessness, and infinite compassion.
Ascension Day Celebrates Awakening
The Swami first turned his body into light on Thai Poosam, a powertime that occurs during the Full Moon during the Tamil month of Thai, when the Moon is in the Pushya star according to Vedic Astrology. Pushya is the star of wealth and earthly delights.
The powertime is on January 20th this year.
Thai Poosam celebrates the time Goddess Parvati gifted Muruga with his mighty weapon, the Vel, which is a special sword. Muruga was born out of the 3rd Eye of Shiva, Parvati’s husband and the archetype of karma removal.
Muruga represents the awakening of the brain and 3rd Eye, and the resulting spiritual intelligence conquers all types of karma and internal enemies. The Vel symbolizes this all-powerful intelligence.
Enlightenment Formula Aids Awareness of the Grace Light
Eclipta Alba has been used for thousands of years as a meditation aid because it increases the exact type of concentration required for meditation. It also makes people more sensitive to the etheric reality, which can bring the realization that we are light.
