wbc - #17992
I got a blood test done last week because I was feeling really weak and tired all the time, like even after sleeping for 8 hours, I’d wake up exhausted. My muscles ache a bit too, and I’ve been getting sick more often lately, like small colds that take forever to go away. When I got my reports, my wbc count was lower than the normal range. The doctor said it’s not "dangerously low" but still, it’s on the lower side, which could explain why I’m getting sick so easily. This kind of freaked me out because I always thought wbc levels were just something your body maintains on its own. I eat normally, I’m not on any heavy medication, and I don’t have any serious health conditions (at least, none that I know of). So why would my wbc suddenly drop? The doctor didn’t really say much, just told me to eat more nutritious food and maybe take some supplements. But I’m not sure if that’s enough?? I started looking into natural ways to boost wbc count and came across Ayurveda. I read that certain herbs like Ashwagandha, Amla, and Giloy are supposed to be good for immunity and overall blood health. Does that actually work? Are there specific Ayurvedic treatments to increase wbc naturally? Also, does diet play a big role in this? Should I avoid certain foods that might be making it worse? Another thing—I’ve been feeling kinda dizzy sometimes, like not super bad, but just lightheaded. Could that be related to low wbc levels too? I don’t wanna ignore this and then end up with something more serious later. Any Ayurvedic advice on how to improve wbc and make my immune system stronger without relying on chemical supplements?
