Granulocytes - #18409
I recently had a blood test done, and my report showed an abnormal granulocytes count. The doctor I saw didn’t explain much—just told me it could be due to an infection or some other issue. Since you’re an Ayurvedic doctor, I want to understand what this means from an Ayurvedic perspective and whether there’s a natural way to bring my granulocytes back to a normal level. From what I read, granulocytes are a type of white blood cell that help fight infections. My report says my granulocytes are higher than normal. Does this always mean there’s an infection? I wasn’t feeling sick at the time of the test, but I have been feeling more tired than usual lately. Could high granulocytes be connected to fatigue? One thing I’m concerned about is that I have frequent throat infections. Can chronic infections cause granulocytes to be high all the time? If so, does Ayurveda have any herbs or treatments to strengthen my immune system and bring granulocytes back to a balanced state? I also have digestion issues like bloating and occasional constipation. Could poor gut health be linked to an increase in granulocytes? In Ayurveda, is there a connection between the immune system and digestion? If my body is constantly inflamed, could that be affecting my granulocytes? The doctor mentioned stress can also affect white blood cell counts. I’ve been under a lot of stress lately due to work, and I don’t sleep well. Could that be a reason my granulocytes are high? If stress is a factor, what are some Ayurvedic remedies to balance my immune response and lower granulocytes naturally? I don’t want to take antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. If my granulocytes are high due to a hidden infection, are there Ayurvedic treatments to fight infections naturally? I would prefer a long-term approach that strengthens my immune system rather than just treating symptoms. Should I make any dietary changes? Are there specific foods or herbs that help regulate granulocytes? I drink a lot of tea and coffee—could caffeine have any effect on my granulocytes? Should I avoid certain foods that might be causing inflammation? I’d really appreciate your guidance on how to bring my granulocytes back to normal naturally. What Ayurvedic approach would you recommend for someone with high granulocytes and frequent throat infections?

What is Immunity - #19553
I get sick way too often, and it's really frustrating. Every few weeks, it’s either a cold, a sore throat, or some kind of stomach issue. It’s not like I don’t take care of myself—I eat fairly well, try to exercise, and sleep at least 7 hours most nights. But still, I seem to catch every bug that goes around. I started wondering—what is immunity really, and why does mine seem so weak? Doctors always say, “Oh, just take vitamins,” but I’ve been doing that for years, and nothing has changed. I recently got a blood test done, and everything was mostly normal, but my white blood cell count was a bit on the lower side. Does that mean my immune system is actually weak, or is there another reason I keep falling sick? I started reading about Ayurveda and how it looks at health from a more holistic perspective. Instead of just popping supplements, I want to understand what is immunity from an Ayurvedic point of view. I’ve heard that digestion plays a big role in immunity. Is it true that poor gut health can make the immune system weak? I do have bloating and acid reflux from time to time, so maybe that’s connected? Also, I’ve read about things like Chyawanprash and Ashwagandha, but how do they actually work to improve immunity? Do I need to take them daily, or only when I feel sick? Another thing I’m curious about—stress. I know I stress a lot because of work, but can that really affect immunity? If so, what are some Ayurvedic ways to manage stress naturally? And does Ayurveda offer any permanent solutions to build strong immunity, or is it just about managing symptoms? I just want to feel stronger and not have to worry about getting sick all the time. If anyone has tried Ayurveda to boost their immunity, please share what worked for you.
