viruses - #17324

I feel like my immune system has been getting weaker over the past few years. No matter what I do, I seem to catch colds, flu, or some kind of viral infection every few months. It’s frustrating because even when I take medications, the recovery is slow, and I feel exhausted for weeks after. Whenever the seasons change, I start experiencing symptoms like a sore throat, congestion, body aches, and extreme fatigue. I’ve been told that these are common signs of viruses, but I don’t understand why I seem to get sick more often than others. I don’t have any major health conditions, so why does my body struggle to fight off viruses? I know modern medicine mostly treats the symptoms of viruses with pain relievers and antihistamines, but I want to strengthen my immune system naturally. That’s why I started looking into Ayurveda. Does Ayurveda have remedies that boost immunity and help prevent frequent viral infections? I read that herbs like Tulsi, Giloy, and Turmeric have antiviral properties—do they actually work in protecting against viruses? Are there any specific Ayurvedic formulations or tonics that help the body fight infections before they even take hold? Also, could my diet be affecting my immunity? I eat processed foods sometimes, and I wonder if they’re weakening my body’s ability to fight viruses. Are there specific foods that help strengthen the immune system naturally? Another concern I have is the long recovery period whenever I get sick. Even after a mild cold or flu, I feel drained for weeks. Can Ayurveda help speed up recovery after being infected by viruses? I’m tired of always feeling run down, and I want to find a natural way to keep my immune system strong year-round. Has anyone here used Ayurveda to prevent viruses or recover faster after being sick? What worked best for you, and how did it improve your overall health?
