What Are Eosinophils, and What Do High or Low Levels Indicate? - #15410
I recently had a blood test, and my doctor mentioned that my eosinophil count was higher than normal. From what I understand, eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections and allergic reactions, but what exactly do they do, and why would their levels increase or decrease? I read that high eosinophils (eosinophilia) can be caused by allergies, asthma, parasitic infections, and autoimmune diseases, while low eosinophils might be due to stress or steroid use. How do doctors determine whether an abnormal eosinophil count is a sign of a serious health condition? One thing that concerns me is that chronic high eosinophil levels can lead to organ damage, inflammation, and blood disorders. What are the best ways to balance eosinophil levels naturally? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural remedies that help regulate eosinophil function and reduce inflammation? I’ve heard that Turmeric, Tulsi, and Black Seed Oil are beneficial for immune balance—do these actually help? If anyone has had high or low eosinophil levels, what symptoms did you experience, and what treatments helped restore balance?
