Heal internally to alter your immune system

No one likes falling sick frequently. But you will fall sick if you don’t work towards strengthening your immune system. 

How do you know if your immune system isn’t strong?

Battling frequent infections is a red flag by your immune system. According to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology, following are the signs of immune deficiency:

• More than two ear infections annually
• More than three episodes of bacterial sinusitis
• Chronic sinusitis
• Developing pneumonia twice within a year

Additionally, your body will show you the following signs if it’s not strong or balanced:

• You always have cold: Having two or three episodes of cold in a year is considered normal. But if you constantly suffer from cold, it’s your immune system asking for help.
• Your stress level is skyrocketing: Long term stress weakens your immune response. It decreases the body’s white blood cells which fight off infections. (Source: American Psychological Association)
• You have an upset stomach more often: Frequent gas, diarrhoea or constipation are signs of a weakened immune system. 70% of your immune system is located in your digestive tract. (Source: NCBI)
• Your wounds take time to heal: Every time you get a burn, injury or scrape, your immunity is your natural first-aid kit. It heals your wounds. This healing process depends on your immune health. If it’s slower than usual, your immune system may be weak.  

How does your immunity work?

Your immune system is complex with multiple cells and tissues. When your body comes in contact with an allergen, bacteria, virus or germs, your immune response launches an attack in two different ways. At first, a cluster of swift fighters which are cytokines reach the battle ground to fight the invaders. This buys ample time for the next set of fighters to launch a more individualised attack. This following “set of fighters” are antibodies and T cells – cells which kill viruses and nurse the cells which are infected.

If your immunity is designed in such an excellent way, it’s your responsibility to ensure it stays strong enough to protect you. Let us introduce you to one such way to strengthen your immunity –homeopathy.
