What Are Neutrophils and How Can Ayurveda Help in Balancing White Blood Cell Levels Naturally? - #16057
I recently had a complete blood count (CBC) test done, and my doctor mentioned that my neutrophils were slightly higher than normal. At the time, I did not fully understand what that meant, but after doing some research, I found out that neutrophils are a type of white blood cell responsible for fighting infections. This made me wonder—why do neutrophil levels fluctuate, and what does it mean if they are too high or too low? From what I understand, having high neutrophils (neutrophilia) can be a sign of an infection, inflammation, or even stress. But what I do not fully understand is whether temporary increases in neutrophils are normal, or if they always indicate a health problem. Can exercise, diet, or emotional stress cause neutrophils to rise? On the other hand, low neutrophils (neutropenia) can make a person more vulnerable to infections. What causes neutropenia, and does it always mean a weakened immune system? Are there specific health conditions or medications that affect neutrophil levels? Since I prefer natural approaches to health, I want to know if Ayurveda has remedies to help balance neutrophil levels and support immune function. Are there specific herbs, such as Giloy or Ashwagandha, that help regulate white blood cell production? Also, does Ayurveda recommend any detox practices to cleanse the body and support blood health? Another thing I am wondering about is whether diet plays a role in keeping neutrophil levels stable. Are there specific foods that help strengthen the immune system naturally? Should I be avoiding certain foods that trigger inflammation and immune overactivity? If anyone has successfully balanced their neutrophils using Ayurveda or natural remedies, I would love to hear what worked for them. I want to ensure my immune system is functioning at its best without unnecessary medications.
