In these modern times, pharmaceutical medicine is easily accessible and promoted as main option to control how the immune system works but to maintain immune system as well as protect self from viruses and infections, it’s important to know there are natural and herbal remedies that can be used as a lifestyle choice or as a remedy to heal from illness.
This issue will look at natural solutions to immunise self. Specific foods, herbs and spices contain vitamins, minerals and nutrients that will protect and maintain own inner body systems. The challenge is knowing this, knowing what self is lacking and needs as well as knowing how to access the necessary resources. Organic natural remedies are always the best because they are not genetically modified and should not contain pesticides.
As the seasons get colder, own blood circulation may be poorer and immune system may be weaker as it struggles to fight off viruses, infections and dis-eases, which can be more threatening to health and even life.
Normal natural immunity will fight off infectious diseases or viruses but is not a permanent state, it is one that has to be nurtured, developed and maintained through healthy diet, lifestyle, exercise and environment so it embraces a holistic approach relating to own mind, body and spirit health. It’s the antibodies in own immune system that defend self from dis-eases so its important to build up own antibodies. It is known that immunity is only developed once self has had the infection or virus so body develops memory cells which will attack any foreign invaders (viruses, bacteria, diseases and the like).
For those who live with autoimmune diseases, the immune system is weakened and tends to have less white blood cells to protect immunity, so this will cause disruption. Such immunity will differ to normal ones and even two people living with same condition will have different types of immune responses. This is why it’s very important to know yourself mentally, physically and spiritually so you know what your self needs to be at optimal functioning capacity.
The most efficient type of natural defence against illness is adaptive immunity, which is developed after first illness then the immune system recognises those invaders as a threat so will use T-Cells and B-Cells (white blood cells) to respond and protect the immune system. Also, adaptive immunity produces antibodies and proteins to attack the threats to immune system.
Some diseases develop once, and then the immunity protects any repeat attacks. For example, chicken pox and measles usually only develop once, then the immune system protects body from any relating outbreaks or illness. Sometimes, some viruses or infections will manifest in the body more than once, especially if immune system is weak. For example, flu, cold, viral infection or Covid-19.
It is unknown how long natural immunity lasts for but it is a health focus that needs to be monitored and maintained as a lifestyle choice.
