How Ayurvedic Herbs Boost The Immune System?

The immune system is a complex mechanism of defending your body against pathogens. It comprises different cells of the body classified as immune cells.

Ayurvedic herbs that boost immunity have immunomodulating properties. Immunomodulators are the group of drugs or compounds that intervene in your immune system.

They do so to prevent the growth of cancerous cells in your body and enhance macrophage cell response against foreign bodies. Thus, immunomodulators strengthen your immunity and boost your immune response against pathogens.
