WINTER ESSENTIALS: OUR MUST-HAVES FOR THE SEASON

Dr. Elena Lucchi, Head of Nutritional Supplements – BeC

Every day, our immune system is challenged by pollutants and pathogens. This complex network of cells, molecules, and chemical mediators works continuously to detect threats and activate protective responses.

Let’s explore some effective strategies to keep our defenses strong and prepare our bodies to face the typical illnesses of the colder months.

A Healthy Lifestyle Is the First Step

Supporting our immune system starts with taking care of ourselves, beginning with a balanced diet and healthy habits.

A diet rich in B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin C is a solid foundation—especially when paired with antioxidant-rich foods. During times of increased stress or fatigue, targeted nutritional supplements can provide extra support.

One excellent option is LENI FLU®, a comprehensive supplement containing:

• All B vitamins

• Vitamin C and plant-derived vitamin D

• Trace elements

• Selected botanical extracts like Echinacea, Withania, and Uncaria, known for their immune-supportive properties

LENI FLU® also includes essential oils of pine, thyme, and eucalyptus, which provide soothing effects and help maintain respiratory wellness, thanks in part to their aromatherapeutic action.

The Role of Essential Oils

Essential oils are volatile aromatic compounds used by plants to attract pollinators or protect themselves from predators and pathogens. Historically called “essences,” they were believed to represent the plant’s most valuable qualities—its fragrance, purity, and healing power.

Today, essential oils are widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, herbal remedies, and even as food flavorings, thanks to their demonstrated biological activities.

A Comprehensive Approach: Inside and Out

To enhance their effects, essential oils can be used through various methods: oral intake (when appropriate), topical application, and inhalation for aromatherapy.

In winter, two ideal cosmetic products to complement LENI FLU® are:

• BALSAMO BeC – a balm rich in essential and vegetable oils, with soothing, calming, and balsamic properties. A light massage releases its full aromatic potential.

• SINERGIA S.A. – a blend of high-quality essential oils used in small amounts for their inhalation and expectorant benefits.

A Powerful Synergy of Natural Ingredients

The combined presence of eucalyptus, thyme, and pine essential oils enhances the effectiveness of this product trio. These oils are particularly rich in eucalyptol and pinene, which have documented antimicrobial, decongestant, and soothing properties.

Used together, they provide well-rounded support through oral, topical, and inhalation routes, promoting immune defense and respiratory well-being.

Strengthen Your Defenses Naturally

Boosting immunity helps us respond better to cold weather and seasonal challenges. While it may not prevent every illness, it can certainly help us recover more quickly and maintain better overall wellness.

And if winter leaves your skin dry or irritated—whether from cold air or exposure to varying temperatures—protect it with:

• CREMA BALSAMO C.R.B.®, a soothing and regenerating facial balm

• GLOVÉ®, a nourishing hand cream designed to hydrate and protect

These products complement the effects of LENI FLU®, thanks to their shared active ingredients, including vitamin E and essential oils of lavender and sage.

Embrace the Season with Confidence

Combining nutrition, aromatherapy, and skin care allows us to face winter with energy, resilience, and the support of nature’s most effective remedies.
