Why Is My Absolute Lymphocyte Count Low, and How Can Ayurveda Help Naturally? - #15592

I got my blood test results back last week, and something caught my attention—my absolute lymphocyte count is lower than normal. My doctor didn’t seem too alarmed, but when I asked what it meant, he just said it’s related to the immune system and that we’ll monitor it over time. That didn’t sit right with me. I started looking it up, and now I’m even more confused. For the past few months, I’ve been feeling off—like I catch colds too easily, my energy is super low, and even small cuts on my skin take forever to heal. I had a cough that lasted nearly a month, and now I’m wondering if that was connected to my absolute lymphocyte count being low. Can this mean my immunity is compromised? I read that a low absolute lymphocyte count can be caused by infections, stress, vitamin deficiencies, or even autoimmune issues. But how do I know what’s really causing mine? The doctor didn’t suggest any further testing, and I don’t want to just sit around and wait. Can Ayurveda help in understanding the root cause and improving absolute lymphocyte count naturally? I saw that herbs like Ashwagandha, Giloy, and Tulsi are good for immunity, but do they actually help in increasing absolute lymphocyte count? I also read that stress could play a role. My life has been a mess lately—bad sleep, constant work pressure, and barely eating on time. Could all of this be making my absolute lymphocyte count drop? Another thing that worries me—does a low absolute lymphocyte count mean I’m more vulnerable to serious diseases? I’ve seen scary stuff online linking it to chronic infections and even serious illnesses like cancer. Should I push my doctor for more tests? Or is there a way in Ayurveda to assess my body’s strength and determine if this is a real issue? I want to take a natural approach before even considering medications. What foods or lifestyle changes can help raise absolute lymphocyte count? Should I avoid certain foods that might be weakening my immune system? If anyone here has had this issue before and managed to improve their absolute lymphocyte count naturally, I’d love to hear your experience.
