What Is the Function of WBC, and How Do They Help the Immune System? - #15185
I recently had a blood test, and one of the things measured was my white blood cell (WBC) count. I know that WBCs are important for the immune system, but I don’t fully understand how they work. What is the exact function of WBC, and how do they protect the body from infections? I read that there are different types of WBCs, like neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. How do these different types of WBCs function, and do they each have a specific role in fighting disease? I also want to know what happens when WBC levels are too high or too low. Could a high count mean that my body is fighting an infection, or could it be something more serious? Are there natural ways to boost WBC function? Does Ayurveda offer any herbs, diets, or immunity-boosting practices that help maintain healthy WBC levels? If anyone has had WBC fluctuations, I’d love to hear what caused it and whether any natural remedies helped improve WBC function.
