Botanical and herbal medicines have a dual mode of action against infectious diseases - they kill germs and viruses, and they stimulate the body's own defenses by strengthening the immune system.
|
|
|
|
|
| The prevention of disease is the bailiwick of the immune system. Tonic herbs
can help build and support immune response to ward off colds, infections and
other serious conditions.
Andrographis, Astragalus and Bupleurum are
leading herbs from the Eastern traditions that are known immunostimulants. A
Russian study in children found that Kan Jang (andrographis leaf extract and eleuthero
root, i.e., Siberian ginseng) was more effective in reducing the severity
and duration of common cold symptoms than the most well known herbal remedy for
immunity, Echinachea. Supplementing your
diet
with green superfoods barley grass and getting
plenty of plant based essential fatty acids from
herbs like flax seed and black
seed oil also play a vital role in a strong and healthy immune system. |
