WBC count - #18631
For the past few months, I’ve been feeling unusually weak and tired, even after a full night's sleep. It’s not the usual exhaustion from work or stress—it feels deeper, like my body isn’t functioning at full capacity. I also noticed that minor cuts and bruises take longer to heal, and I’ve been catching colds more frequently than before. This is unusual for me because I’ve always been fairly healthy. Out of concern, I recently got a blood test done, and the results showed that my WBC count is lower than the normal range. The doctor didn’t seem too alarmed, but he mentioned that a low WBC count can indicate a weakened immune system. Since then, I’ve been reading about the role of white blood cells, and it’s making me wonder whether my body is struggling to fight off infections. I don’t have any chronic illnesses, and I maintain a generally healthy lifestyle. I eat home-cooked food, mostly vegetarian, and avoid processed foods as much as possible. However, my digestion has been irregular lately, with bloating and occasional discomfort. Could poor gut health be linked to a low WBC count? I also had dengue fever last year—could that still be affecting my immune system even months later? I prefer natural approaches over medications whenever possible. I’m curious about how Ayurveda can help improve WBC count naturally. Are there specific herbs, foods, or lifestyle practices that can help increase WBC count and boost immunity? Are there any Ayurvedic treatments or detox therapies that can strengthen my immune system? I have also heard that stress can negatively impact WBC count. If that’s true, what Ayurvedic techniques or remedies would you recommend to manage stress while also supporting immune health? Lastly, I’d like to understand how long it generally takes to restore a healthy WBC count. Should I focus more on dietary changes, herbal supplements, or specific therapies? What should be my next steps in addressing this issue naturally through Ayurveda? Looking forward to your guidance.
