Supporting Your Immunity This Autumn
Autumn is nature’s reminder to slow down. The days are shorter, the air is cooler, and the trees are letting go of their leaves. It’s a season of change — and for our bodies, that means a shift too. By supporting your immunity now, you can strengthen your natural defences and feel calm, balanced, and radiant as we move into the colder months.
Nourish With Seasonal Foods
Autumn’s harvest is packed with immune-loving nutrients.
Apples and pears are rich in fibre and antioxidants, supporting your gut health (where most of your immune system lives).
Pumpkin, squash, and root vegetables offer beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A — essential for healthy skin and immunity.
Warming spices like cinnamon, turmeric, and ginger have natural anti-inflammatory properties.
Tip: Think soups, stews, and slow-cooked meals — gentle on digestion and grounding for this time of year.
Hydration Inside and Out
As the air gets cooler and central heating creeps back on, dehydration can creep in too. Hydrating from within with water, herbal teas, and broths helps keep your body resilient. For your skin, nourishing facials and natural oils can strengthen the skin barrier — your body’s first line of defence.
Balance Stress and Rest
Autumn can feel like a busy season — back-to-school rhythms, returning routines, and shorter days. But stress and fatigue weaken immunity. This is the perfect time to:
Practise Face Yoga or gentle breathwork to regulate your nervous system.
Book a reflexology or facial session to support deep relaxation and boost circulation.
Create cosy evening rituals that prioritise rest, helping your body repair and recharge.
Soak Up (and Supplement) Vitamin D
Autumn sunshine is beautiful but often limited. Vitamin D is vital for mood, bone strength, and immune health — especially for midlife women. If you’re not getting enough, consider supplementing (always check with your GP before starting).
Embrace Seasonal Self-Care
Touch therapies, mindful self-care, and nurturing routines aren’t luxuries — they’re immune-boosting essentials. Reflexology, gua sha, or a calming facial can shift the body out of stress mode, giving your immune system space to work at its best.

Autumn is about preparing, grounding, and nourishing — both body and mind. With the right foods, rituals, and self-care practices, you can feel strong, calm, and radiant as the seasons shift. Now is the perfect time to give your immunity, your skin, and your wellbeing the care they deserve.
