The Coronavirus outbreak has forced the people all across the world to pay attention to their health. Even the World Health Organisation has stated that a robust immune system is the best shot humanity has, against this deadly pandemic, at least until the vaccine is discovered for it!

To take the best approach towards a robust immune system, we must first understand that we are all born with an immune system, a.k.a body's natural mechanism to fight diseases. However, the overuse of antibiotics and other medicines has rendered us with a weaker defensive mechanism.

But the good news is that the damage is not permanent, and we can still boost the immunity system and regain what was given to us by Mother Nature! Exercise, yoga, and a stress free lifestyle can prove to be of immense help in strengthening the immune system.

Other than that, some foods and herbs rich in antioxidants and vitamins can too help us boost the Immune system.

Infact Ayurveda has been using these herbs and lifestyle interventions for ages to fight diseases and build a robust natural defense mechanism.

According to recent research ...
... there are around 75-100 species of herbs and flowers worldwide, proven to have medicinal values. These herbs have been used as a preventive measure to fight diseases and infections, especially in the Indian Ayurvedic system and Chinese traditional medicinal system.

Some herbs can also increase the immunity ingredient and therefore are known as immunomodulatory herbs.
