What Are Neutrophils, and How Do They Help Fight Infections? - #15430
I recently had a complete blood count (CBC) test, and my doctor mentioned my neutrophil levels. From what I understand, neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections, but what exactly do they do, and how do they respond to bacteria and viruses? I read that high neutrophil levels can indicate infections, stress, or inflammation, while low neutrophils may be linked to immune suppression, bone marrow disorders, or viral infections. How do doctors determine whether neutrophil fluctuations are temporary or a sign of a more serious condition? One thing that concerns me is that chronic inflammation or autoimmune conditions can affect neutrophil function, leading to frequent infections and delayed healing. What are the best ways to support neutrophil production naturally and maintain a strong immune system? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural treatments that help improve white blood cell function? I’ve heard that Tulsi, Giloy, and Ashwagandha are beneficial for immune support—do these actually work for maintaining healthy neutrophil levels? If anyone has had abnormal neutrophil levels, what symptoms did you experience, and what treatments helped? Did diet, herbal supplements, or medical interventions work best?
