DEFICIT IN IMMUNE PROCESSES: the immune system is critical to protect the body against infection, whether viral or bacterial or fungal and then every its deficiency facilitates the emergence of infectious diseases and makes them more serious and more difficult to combat. The most important cells of the immune system are lymphocytes, white blood cells (leukocytes) and macrophages. Some types of lymphocytes are responsible for producing antibodies, while others are specialized to identify and destroy abnormal cells and / or strangers. The white blood cells and macrophages are the first line of defense and they attack and destroy unwanted guests such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Vaccines stimulate the lymphocytes to produce antibodies, whilst some medicinal plants act primarily on white blood cells and macrophages, increasing their activity.
USEFUL PLANTS: Aloe species (Aloe), Astragalus membranaceus (Astragalus), Beta glucan, Echinacea angustifolia or purpurea (Echinacea), Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng), Malpighia punicifolia (Acerola), Panax ginseng (Ginseng), Propolis, Rosa canina (Dog rose), Uncaria tomentosa (Cat’s claw), Vitis vinifera (Vine).
