Immunitary defense

Natural remedies and products to strengthen the immune system

The immune system is a defense system that protects our body from external aggression by pathogenic viruses and bacteria. It is composed of several organs and dozens of different types of cells. When the immune system is weakened, it is easier to get sick. Symptoms such as cough, catarrh, sore throat, herpes, recurrent infections, are all possible signs of a weakened immune system.

To strengthen the immune defenses it is possible to resort to natural remedies with immunostimulating or immunomodulating properties, therefore we are talking about herbal remedies capable of stimulating and restoring balance to the functionality of the immune system.

Low Immune Defenses: Causes and Symptoms

The proper functioning of the immune system can be impaired due to various factors such as:

  • Poor diet : the immune system is very complex and in order to function at 100% it needs several nutrients such as mineral salts, vitamins and amino acids. The lack of one or more of these substances can create difficulties and weaken the immune system.
  • Lack of rest : we are diurnal animals and as such we need to rest during the night. Sleeping badly and sleeping little are two excellent ways to weaken the immune defenses.
  • Sedentary lifestyle : In addition to contributing to general good health, moderate exercise also has a direct effect on immunity. 
  • Stress : Chronic stress undoubtedly has a negative effect on health. When stressed, the adrenal glands secrete cortisol and the sympathetic system, norepinephrine – two substances that reduce the immune system’s response.
  • Drug abuse : In addition to putting a strain on our liver, many drugs also have a debilitating effect on the immune system. For example, antibiotics, which destroy both pathogenic bacteria and good bacteria in the intestine, thus negatively affecting the functionality of the immune system.

As for symptoms , having a low immune defenses equates to getting sick more often and with longer recovery times. A very recurring symptom linked to a weakened immune system is cold sores , a viral infection that reappears every time the immune system is weakened.

Other symptoms of a weakened immune system may include: tiredness, brittle hair, and frequent migraines.

Other remedies to boost your immune defenses

In addition to using supplements and herbal remedies to boost your immune system, there are some things you can do in your daily life to improve the overall well-being of your immune system.

  • A healthy and balanced diet : in particular, the consumption of seasonal vegetables, possibly organic, is very important, for their supply of mineral salts and vitamins, which are essential for the correct functioning of the immune system. However, the supply of essential amino acids, or proteins, is also very important.
  • Probiotics : especially after a course of antibiotics, taking quality probiotics can be useful for restoring balance to the intestinal bacterial flora, which is where a good part of the immune system resides.
  • Sleep well : this means sleeping at night and an adequate number of hours, so as to allow the body to restore energy, regenerate and purify itself. In fact, it is at night that detoxification processes occur.
  • Reduce stress levels : this can also be done through sports, music, a walk in nature, meditation, yoga and in general any hobby or activity that helps you relax your mind and think less about the problems and frenzies of life.
