Supporting the body's natural response
Fever is one of the immune system's most effective defense mechanisms. During a viral or bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract, the body increases its temperature to create conditions that are less favorable for the replication of microorganisms and to enhance the activity of immune cells.
In this context, the goal should not necessarily be to suppress every symptom, but rather to physiologically support the body's response capabilities through rest, hydration, proper nutrition, and targeted nutraceutical support.

For this reason, it may be useful to combine:
- Aspaloe: 1 capsule every 4 hours during the acute phase.
- Lunae: 1 tablet at lunch and 1 tablet at dinner.
This combination aims to simultaneously support the immune response, the physiological control of inflammation, and overall well-being during febrile episodes.
Aspaloe: support for natural defenses during fever and colds
Aspaloe is formulated with ingredients traditionally used during flu-like and febrile conditions, including white willow, acerola, rosehip, and vitamin E.
White willow: the natural precursor of salicylates
White willow (Salix alba) contains salicin, a substance that is converted in the body into salicylic derivatives.
Traditionally, it is used to:
- counteract localized tension;
- support joint function;
- promote the body's physiological response to febrile conditions.
The properties of willow have been documented by numerous phytochemical and pharmacological studies that have historically led to the development of acetylsalicylic acid. Systematic review studies confirm the presence of anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities attributable to the plant's phytocomplex.
Acerola and Rosehip: natural vitamin C and immunity
Acerola and Rosehip are particularly rich natural sources of vitamin C and polyphenols.
Vitamin C:
- contributes to the normal function of the immune system;
- protects cells from oxidative stress;
- participates in the regeneration of endogenous antioxidants;
- supports the production and activity of leukocytes.
During an acute infection, the body's requirement for vitamin C increases significantly.
Vitamin E: antioxidant protection
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cell membranes from oxidative damage caused by inflammation and immune activation.
Lunae: physiological control of inflammation
Lunae is formulated with bromelain, Boswellia serrata, and tetrahydrocurcuminoids, a combination designed to promote the physiological control of inflammatory processes and localized tension.
Bromelain: support for inflammatory drainage
Bromelain, an enzyme extracted from pineapple, has been widely studied for its ability to:
- promote tissue drainage;
- support physiological recovery;
- modulate the inflammatory response.
Some clinical studies have shown benefits in recovery from inflammatory processes of the respiratory tract and soft tissues.
Boswellia serrata: modulation of inflammation
Boswellia acids from Boswellia act on specific enzymatic pathways involved in inflammation, particularly 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX).
Numerous scientific publications document the role of Boswellia in supporting joint comfort and maintaining a physiological inflammatory response.
Tetrahydrocurcuminoids: the active form of turmeric
Tetrahydrocurcuminoids are highly bioavailable metabolites of turmeric.
Experimental studies highlight:
- antioxidant activity;
- support for the regulation of inflammatory cytokines;
- cellular protection during states of oxidative stress.
The rationale behind the Aspaloe + Lunae combination
During seasonal fevers and infections, the body simultaneously experiences:
- immune activation;
- free radical production;
- a physiological inflammatory response;
- an increased requirement for protective nutrients.
The combination of Aspaloe and Lunae makes it possible to intervene on multiple levels:
- immune defense support (acerola, rosehip);
- antioxidant protection (vitamin C, vitamin E, curcuminoids);
- support for the physiological control of inflammation (boswellia, bromelain, willow);
- maintenance of general well-being during febrile episodes.
Recommended dosage schedule
Acute phase
Aspaloe
- 1 capsule every 4 hours.
Lunae
- 1 tablet at lunch.
- 1 tablet at dinner.
Take with plenty of water and support the protocol with:
- adequate rest;
- proper hydration;
- a light diet rich in fruit and vegetables;
- an adequate supply of vitamin D and trace elements.
Conclusions
Fever represents an intelligent and fundamental biological response for the proper functioning of the immune system. Supporting it without unnecessarily hindering it can promote a more efficient response from the body.
The Aspaloe and Lunae combination offers an integrated approach that combines immune support, antioxidant protection, and physiological control of inflammation, accompanying the body's natural healing process during febrile episodes and seasonal infections.
