Herbs For Immunity

The importance of having a strong immune system has become a popular topic of discussion due to the pandemic. An increasingly large number of people have understood the need for a clean and healthy diet full of rich Ayurvedic herbs to boost immune system.

In fact, studies suggest that Ayurvedic products in India grew in demand by almost 90% between January and March 2021.  All said and done, let's evaluate what makes Ayurvedic herbs so special when it comes to immunity.

How Ayurvedic Herbs Boost The Immune System?

The immune system is a complex mechanism of defending your body against pathogens. It comprises different cells of the body classified as immune cells.

Ayurvedic herbs that boost immunity have immunomodulating properties. Immunomodulators are the group of drugs or compounds that intervene in your immune system.

They do so to prevent the growth of cancerous cells in your body and enhance macrophage cell response against foreign bodies. Thus, immunomodulators strengthen your immunity and boost your immune response against pathogens.

Best Ayurvedic Herbs For Immune System

With our fast-paced lives, it has become difficult to look after health and immunity. Here is the list of some Ayurvedic herbs that will look after your immune system and well-being if you take them regularly.

1.         Turmeric

Due to the presence of curcumin, turmeric has been traditionally used to treat various immunity disorders. Curcumin is a potent immunomodulator and can fortify your immune response against various infections.

It also has antiseptic properties, and it promotes wound healing. Taking turmeric with black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin and gives better results.

2.      Ashwagandha

This traditional medicinal herb is known for its stress-reducing and relaxing properties, but it also improves your immunity. This is because it has steroidal lactones that are:

• Immunomodulatory

Thus, ashwagandha fortifies your immune system and aids in the better functioning of other body systems as well.

3.      Ginger

Ginger contains more than 400 compounds that have therapeutic activity. It is used to treat various GI related conditions such as colic cancer, ulcers, and weak liver.

It also has anti-inflammatory, analgesic properties and is used in pain management. Thus, it is one of the best herbs to boost immune system.

4.     Tulsi

Ayurveda depicted tulsi as the queen of herbs. It has both medicinal and spiritual properties. Studies have proved that active ingredients of tulsi protect our organ systems from toxins and pathogen attacks. It enhances our immunity, and it acts as a tonic for the body, mind and spirit.
