Immune system


The immune system is the body’s defense mechanism. It forms the second line of defense, after physical barriers like the skin and the mucous membranes. It is located throughout the body and includes the thymus gland, the spleen, bone marrow and a vast network of lymph nodes. It is made up of many cells, proteins, tissues and organs. The main function of the immune system is to prevent and fight infection. A good immune system is necessary for proper functioning of the body. A weakened immune system can cause symptoms like frequent sickness, allergies, fatigue, digestive issues, delayed growth and slow development. A low immune function can be due to emotional stress, sleep deprivation, vitamin deficiencies, lack of physical exercise, over exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) sunrays, excessive use of antibiotics, exposure to environmental toxins, poor dietary habits and inadequate hygiene. Boosting the immune system is possible through lifestyle changes and some simple home remedies as recommended by Ayurveda.
