Herbs for immunity.

Herbs for immunity. What folk remedies can be used to strengthen immunity.

The immune system is a kind of defensive line of our body, protecting it from genetically foreign substances that come from outside or are formed in the body itself.

The organs of the immune system produce immunocompetent cells (lymphocytes, plasmacids), biologically active substances (antibodies) that recognize, destroy or neutralize cells and other foreign substances (antigens) that have entered the body or formed in it — viruses, bacteria, fungi, transplanted tissues and organs, pollen, chemicals, etc.

A decrease in immunity is the main cause of most of our diseases.

In our time, almost all people, especially children, have a severely weakened immune system. This happens largely because our immune system is constantly working in an exorbitant mode. Simply put, the daily intake of environmental, household, medicinal and food toxins in the body does not give the immune system a minute of rest.

And as a natural result — a surge in the last thirty years of cancer, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and other diseases. What to do?

How to raise and strengthen the immune system? After all, it is practically impossible to stop breathing, eating, drinking, using the “benefits of civilization”.

This means we need to help our immune system. To increase immunity, medicinal plants with immunostimulating properties can make an invaluable contribution.
