Protect yourself and your family from viral diseases is the main task for today. Help natural immunomodulators to cope with this problem? About it on air of TV channel “Russia 1” said the doctor of medical Sciences Svetlana Trofimova.
“we All know that there are substances such as immunomodulators. But there are Immunostimulants, immunosuppressants. This is a totally different matter,” – said Trofimov. She explained: immunomodulators regulate the function of the immune system, not suppressing and not activating it too work. The adjuvants, on the contrary, can strengthen our immune system and disrupt bodily functions.
All of these substances may be of vegetable, animal or synthetic origin. It is important to choose medicines that are “complementary” to the body. For this it is necessary to consult a doctor-immunologist. Wrong selection of the drug is fraught with consequences: for example, synthetic Immunostimulants can “spur” the development of autoimmune diseases.
“for Example, arthritis, asthma. Adjuvants can provoke the emergence or activation of these processes,” – said Trofimov. It all depends on the immune status of the person, from age, from what disease he is suffering from the dosages.
Some immunomodulators gently stimulate certain parts of our immune system. Among them are honey and Royal jelly.
“Preparations of honey have anti-viral action, – said Trofimov. In particular, Royal jelly, and honey inhibit the activity of herpes simplex virus”.
Also a potent biological activity have thyme, rosemary and turmeric. A powerful natural antibiotics are garlic, horseradish and ginger. The composition of garlic, for example, includes such substance as allicin. Its concentration in garlic is not as great as in the tablet orapsule, but for a healthy person it’s enough. Another herbal immunomodulator Echinacea extract. This drug will help in the prevention of viral acute respiratory diseases.
In some cases, need to resort to immunomodulators? The immune impairment may be a number of signs, for example, impairment of blood circulation and as a result – cold hands and feet. Another sign of the apathy and constant feeling of fatigue and weakness. All this – the reasons to go to the immunologist.
