Herbs that can be used for Immunity

What is immunity?

Immunity refers to the capability of the multicellular organism to resist harmful microorganisms. Our immunity is equipped with certain enzymes, cells, and markers that help recognize and tolerate whatever belongs to the self and reject the non-self (foreign invaders). The white blood cells play a major role in defending the body against pathogens, i.e viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. Naturally, after getting infected, our body makes antibodies against that pathogen to kill it and in the meantime, you might get sick too. But in the future, those antibodies remain receptive towards that specific germ and kill it effortlessly without making you sick.

Turmeric is a natural immunomodulatory herb that regulates the working of the immune system. It quells the chronic inflammatory condition, especially sinusitis, arthritis, heart diseases, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, and other degenerative disorders. Its antioxidative property can reduce the number of free radicals in the body and successively upregulate your immunity game. Take half to a full dropper of Turmeric Tincture up to 3 times a day in water or tea to skip the wrath of foreign invasion.

Turkey Tail Mushroom

Turkey tail mushroom is a medicinal polypore mushroom that imparts magnificent medicinal benefits. Its powerful antioxidant property scavenges the free radicals wandering in the body that can bolster a weakened immune system and help fight against certain cancers. Almost 70% of your immunity is located in the gut. Turkey tail mushroom confers a positive impact on the microflora of the gut, bringing the much-needed balance for healthy digestive immunity. Use Turkey Tail Mushroom Tincture up to 3 times a day in water or tea to support your immunity.
