3 Immunity
The body’s inherent defense mechanism against a wide range
of illnesses and conditions is referred to as immunity [16].
The human immune system is very complex but controls
many infections by generating a limitless variety of cells.
There are certain medicines, natural or synthetic, that make
the immune system optimum so it works effectively, are
known as immunomodulators. The diseases like cancer and
autoimmune, apart from other diseases have been treated by
the immunomodulators. Immunosuppressants and immunostimulants are two distinct types of immunomodulators in use
[17]. One of the biological research areas that is expanding
quickly is immunology, which holds enormous potential for
treating a wide range of illnesses and disorders. In general,
human immunity is grouped into two types: innate and adaptive. A rst-line defense from pathogens is known as innate
immunity. The pathogens try to go inside the human body
but they are prevented by protective barriers. The other system known as adaptive immunity (also called acquired
immunity) recognizes the pathogens and then further regulation done by cells and organs. An adaptive immune response
includes the two immune response which is called humoral
immune response that involves lymphocytes and cellmediated cytotoxic response mediated by T cells. All the
immune system’s cells, including their stem cells, are made
in the bone marrow in a process called hematopoiesis. Either
they develop into mature cells or they move to other distant
areas to move [18]. Along with a wide variety of immune
cells with specialized functions, certain molecules called
cytokines, one of the key immune system mediators, mediate
communication between the immune system’s specialized
cells. This fully integrates the behavior and action responses
of the cells [19].
4 Herbal Medicine inBoosting
theImmune System
Plants can improve immune function because they are high
in avonoids, vitamin C, or carotenoids. Herbs high in avonoids may potentially have a slight anti-inammatory effect.
They are known to have anti-inammatory and immunestimulating effects. It can enhance phagocytosis, stimulate
the synthesis of interferon, and stimulate lymphocyte activity. Approximately 500 medicinal plants are mentioned in
ancient literature, and approximately 800 plants have been
used in indigenous medical systems. India is home to a vast
array of medicinal plants used in traditional medical treatments [20]. Several plant species are used to treat various
ailments in indigenous systems such as Siddha, Ayurveda,
Unani, and Allopathy [21]. Many scientic studies have
highlighted the importance and contribution of many plant
families used as medicinal plants, including Asteraceae,
Liliaceae, Apocynaceae, Solanaceae, Caesalpiniaceae,
Rutaceae, Piperaceae, and Sapotaceae. Medicinal plants are
important in the development of new drugs. In India, natural
products account for 70% of modern medicines. India has a
very small (1.6%) share of this rapidly expanding global
market. To compete in a growing market, it is critical to use
and scientically validate more medicinally useful plants
[22].
Indian Materia Medica, which made great use of leaves,
bark, owers, roots, fruits, tubers, and uids, was predominately composed of vegetable materials. Ayurvedic pharmacology was founded on the theories of rasa, vipaka, virya,
and prabhava, which did not clearly distinguish between diet
and medication because both were essential elements of
treatment [23, 24]. More than 700 herbal medications were
documented by Charak, Sushruta, and Vagbhata along with
their characteristics and medical use. Based on clinical
results, 50 different drug categories have been identied,
including digestive stimulants, laxatives, anti-diarrhea, antihemorrhoids, anti-emetic, antipyretic, anti-inammatory,
anti-pruritic, antiasthmatic, antiepileptic, antihelminthic,
hemopoietic, hemostatic, analgesics, sedative, promoter of
life (Rasayana), promoter of strength [23].
The practice of Ayurveda, which experienced signicant neglect at the hands of the colonial authorities, was
hampered by the introduction of Western medicine in the
eighteenth century. Numerous laboratories and university
departments carried out a tremendous amount of characterization of medicinal plants after the discovery of reserpine, but the results were depressing due to the poorly
coordinated, diffused, and unfocused work [23]. Ayurveda
and contemporary medicine now have a new interface,
thanks to molecular pharmacology. Numerous Ayurvedic
medicine categories could produce inventive molecular
probes when used using contemporary methods. It is now
possible to investigate how Ayurvedic medicines work
using the most recent understanding of molecular
pharmacology.
Indian science has been aware of the use of herbal therapy
for jaundice, most likely caused by viral hepatitis, since the
Vedic era. There have been reports of about 170 phytoconstituents with liver protecting properties, identied from 110
plants from 55 families. The number of commercial herbal
preparations used as hepatoprotective medications is thought
to be around 6000. In the Indian market, there are roughly 40
patent polyherbal compositions made from combinations of
93 Indian herbs from 44 families [25]. However, the most
effective herbal remedies for the treatment of viral hepatitis
have been identied as the following four:
(a) Silymarin derived from Silibum marianum seeds.
(b) Picrorrhiza kurroa, often known as ‘Kutaki’ extracts.

(c) The most utilized Phyllanthus species, Phyllanthus
niruri and Phyllanthus amarus, have extracts that have
been employed as hepatoprotective agents.
(d) With varying degrees of success, glycyrrhizin prepara-
tion has been used in the past to treat liver disorders and
peptic ulcers [26].
4.1 The Eects ofMedicinal Plants
ontheImmune System
In addition to other qualities that are known to either balance
or strengthen the organism’s defense and response, a wide
variety of plants that can be found all over the world include
immunomodulatory capabilities [27]. These features regulate our system to support every part of our body. The information in this study focuses on herbal plants that have
immunomodulatory qualities as well as antiviral, antioxidant, antibacterial, or anti-inammatory capabilities. Some
of the representative plants have been discussed to understand the utility of herbal medicines in protecting the immune
system. A list of plants and their formulations have been
listed in Tables 1 [16–18, 28–51] and 2 [52–60].
4.1.1 Turmeric
Originally from Asia, the Zingiberaceae family includes turmeric (Curcuma longa). The plant material obtained from its
roots and rhizomes has shown potential for various medicinal applications. Due to its pharmacological characteristics,
turmeric has been utilized for millennia. Curcuminoids give
turmeric its yellow color, and curcumin and curcuminoids
together make up most of this well-known culinary spice
[61]. Historically used topically to heal wounds or treat skin
ulcers [62], as well as to treat rheumatism, sinusitis, the common cold, and liver disorders [63]. According to recent
investigations, curcumin is regarded as a potent immunomodulatory drug capable of altering immune cell activity
and reducing proinammatory cytokines [64], as well as
exhibiting antioxidant [65] and anti-inammatory actions
[66]. Both invitro evidence and invivo have demonstrated
its valuable therapeutic properties in a variety of illnesses,
including anxiety and depression [67] as well as cancer [68],
cardiometabolic disorders, and lung and liver diseases [69].
Turmeric acts as a scavenger of oxygen free radicals and it
can also prevent hemoglobin from oxidation. The main curcuminoid present in turmeric is curcumin which exhibits strong antioxidant properties [70], whereas other curcumanoids present

are demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin (Fig. 2)
[71], they possess radical molecules that prevent free radical
formation. Curcumin has been shown to have antiallergic properties by inhibiting histamine release from mast cells [72]. It
also acts as an immunomodulator by inhibiting the entry and
replication of SARSCoV-2 virus into host cells [73].
4.1.2 Common g
The Mediterranean region’s tropical and temperate g (Ficus
carica) tree, a member of the Moraceae family, is a source of
avonoids, phenolics, and polysaccharides [74]. The primary bioactive substance derived from F. carica is polysac-
charide, which has been shown to have high antioxidant
activity [75], antitumor capabilities [76], and, most importantly, immunoregulation function [77]. However, it has previously been demonstrated in induced colitis invivo testing
[78]. This has positive effects on remodeling gut microbiome
and treating colitis symptoms. More research is still required
to conrm its anti-inammatory characteristics.
4.1.3 Astragalus
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus), a member of the
Fabaceae family of plants that is mostly grown in China,
Mongolia, and Korea, has been the subject of numerous studies and has been shown to have several advantages [79].
Immunomodulation [80], antioxidant activity [81], antiinammatory effects [82], anticancer activity [83], and antiviral activity [84] are the principal uses for this herb. The
amount of active chemicals in its dried roots varies depending on where they were grown and when they were initially
picked [85], and it can be mixed with other herbs for
enhanced performance. Enhancing the immune system, or
using it as a tonic to strengthen the body’s defenses [86], can
help with immunodeciency disorder therapies by decreasing the side effects brought on by conventional pharmacological treatments [87].
4.1.4 Garlic
Another amazing plant that has a signicant impact on the
immune system is garlic (Allium sativum). It comprises a
bulb from the Liliaceae family. It grows from 1.5 to 2.5cm
and has traits and an Aromatic Odor. Bulb colors range from
pink to white. It has been found that using garlic to improve
immunity causes natural killer cells to become more active.
For instance, certain studies strongly imply that garlic is a
viable candidate for an immunological modulator that protects the immune system’s homeostasis [34]. This is because
it contains more sulfur compounds, which are what give it its
medicinal properties. Other medical conditions that can be
treated with garlic’s chemical components include cancer,
diabetes, atherosclerosis, and hyperlipidemia. Alliin, volatile
oil, and allicin are present in garlic. Garlic is used to treat
lung infections and is a carminative, expectorant, antimicrobial, and disinfectant [88]. The immunomodulatory effect
(i) inhibits the growth of cancer cells,
(ii) modulates activity of chemical carcinogens,
(iii) enhances capillary skin perfusion, and,
(iv) enhances macrophage (oxidative burst) and
T- lymphocytes [88].

4.1.5 Curry Leaves
Curry leaves (Fig.3), also known as Murraya koenigii, are a
type of tree that grows in tropical and subtropical climates
and belongs to the Rutaceae family. Originally from India, it
is presently grown in another region of the world. The tree is
tiny, at 6m tall. Bipinnate in structure, the leaves have 9–25
or more leaets on a short stalk [89]. Due to its distinctive
aromatic quality, it is regarded as an herb and frequently
employed as a avoring agent and enhancer. Conversely,
curry leaves are shown to have positive health impacts when
added to food or ingested in other ways due of their nutritious
qualities [90]. Curry leaves include the following bioactive
substances: Murrayanine, Scopoletin, Murrayanine glycosides, Koenine, Mahanine, Girinimbine, Koenidine,
Koenigine, and Isomahanine [91]. Additionally, it is abundant
in minerals like calcium, iron, and phosphorus as well as vita-
mins like vitamins A, B (niacin, thiamine, and riboavin), and
C.Researchers have discovered that curry leaves have hepatoprotective, anti-inammatory, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial,
and anti-hypercholesterolemia characteristics. Additionally, it
aids in the treatment of vomiting, diarrhea, and a calcium
shortage [88]. The leaves also contain the triterpenoid alkaloids cyclomahanimbine and tetrahydromahanimbine. There
are tonic, stomachic, and carminative properties in the leaves,
roots, and bark. Additionally, the leaves exhibit anti-emetic
qualities. The stem distillate of the leaves has proven to have
purgative qualities [92]. In addition to having anti-diabetic
properties, its leaf extracts also have some actions that control
immunology in relation to oxidative stress metabolism.
Expression of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-2, 4, 10, and
tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) demonstrated this
immunomodulatory and anti-inammatory action [93].

4.1.6 Ghritkumari (Aloe Vera)
This succulent perennial plant, a member of the genus Aloe,
is native to the desert regions of the Arabian Peninsula. It has
a distinctive appearance because of the gel-like substance
found in its thick, eshy leaves, which has led to its popularity as a decorative plant. Due to its extraordinary healing
powers, aloe vera has been utilized for millennia in both
traditional and alternative medicine. Its gel was used to treat
burns, wounds, and other skin conditions. According to
ancient Chinese, Indian, and Greek literature, aloe vera was
highly prized for its therapeutic benets [87]. It has the following immunomodulatory effects:
(i) Its polysaccharides exhibit adjuvant activity for the for-
mation of antibodies and DTH, and it prevents UV-
induced suppression of DTH.
(ii) Reduces inammation.
(iii) Promotes faster healing of wounds and serves as an
oxygen radical scavenger.
(iv) Cooperates with NO.
(v) Promotes tumor regression [94].
4.1.7 Guava
Guava (Fig.3) is a tropical fruit, high in nutrients such as
potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C [95]. It also has a variety of phytochemicals and antioxidants. Because of its nutritional content and bioactive compounds, many studies
suggest that guava may help boost the immune system in
humans [96]. Guava is one of the richest sources of vitamin
C, vitamin C acts as antioxidant and protects our immune
system by neutralizing harmful free radicals which can damage cells and weaken the body’s defenses [97]. It also helps
to produce white blood cells, which are necessary for ghting infections. Guava contains minerals such as Mg and Cu,
all of which are important for immune system health. Guava
components have anti-inammatory properties, which may
help in the reduction of inammation. Guava contains antioxidants such as carotenoids, polyphenols, and avonoids
that help in the reduction of oxidative stress in the body [98].
Oxidative stress can have a negative impact on the immune
system but can be mitigated by eating antioxidant-rich foods
like guava. Guava is also high in dietary ber, which is good
for gut health. A healthy gut is associated with a stronger
immune system because it houses a large portion of the
body’s immune cells [99]. The active compounds present in
guava extract such as polyphenol compounds act as an
immunostimulant though these are not only compounds
responsible for immunostimulatory activity but they play the
major role. Phenolic compounds are mainly responsible for
the high antioxidant activity in Guava [44].
4.1.8 Ginger
Ginger contains bioactive compounds such as phenolic
groups, alkaloids, and steroids, all of which have medicinal
properties [100]. Gingerol is the active compound that has
powerful anti-inammatory effects [100]. It also contains
antioxidants, which help protect our cells from free radical
oxidative stress, when our cells are protected from these
damages, our immune system works more efciently [101].
Ginger is benecial for increasing immunity due to its high
antioxidant content, lowering stress due to its inuential
anti-inammatory properties, and improving blood circulation [102].
Ginger is used to boost immune system because of its
antibacterial nature. Health benets of ginger are as follows:
relieves nausea, aids digestion, reduces oxidative stress,
reduces the risk of heart disease, mitigates obesity [102]. The
mechanisms for its anti-inammatory properties include:
(a) inhibition of arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggrega-
tion and formation of thromboxane B,
(b) upregulation of histone H3 acetylation, and suppressed
histone deacetylase (HDAC)1 expression,
(c) inhibition of IL-1, TNF-α, and IL-8 and downregulation
of inammatory inducible NO synthase (iNOS).
4.1.9 Neem
Neem plant parts have antimicrobial properties due to their
inhibitory effect on microbial growth. Neem has blood purifying properties as well. Neem leaves strengthen our immune
system while also cooling our body internally. Neem has
antibacterial and antifungal properties, which help to keep
your skin clean, radiant, and healthy. Neem extracts contained immunomodulators that stimulated cells and macrophages [103]. The active ingredient in neem is nimbin, which
has antioxidant and anti-inammatory properties [103].
Numerous biologically active substances, such as nimbin,
nimbidin, nimbolide, and limonoids, are present in neem.
Quercetin and β-sitosterol were the rst polyphenolic avonoids isolated from fresh neem leaves [104]. Neem has antiinammatory properties that can aid in the reduction of
proinammatory cytokines and mediators [104]. This action
aids in the regulation of excessive immune responses, which
can result in chronic inammation and tissue damage.
Macrophages are immune cells which help in engulfment of
foreign substances and pathogens. Neem can increase macrophage activity, boosting the immune response to infections
[105]. Neem has antimicrobial properties that can aid in the
ght against pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Neem helps the immune system ght infections by inhibiting
the growth and replication of these microbes [104].

4.1.10 Arjuna
Terminalia arjuna (Roxb.) Wight & Arn., commonly referred
to as Arjuna is one of the most prevalent and useful medicinal plants in traditional medicine. It is prevalent across
India’s tropical and semitropical regions. Each component of
Terminalia arjuna, including leaves, stem bark, roots, and
fruit ha medicinal properties [106]. It contains analgesic,
anti-inammatory, and immunostimulatory effects and has
been utilized to treat a variety of human diseases as well as
to maintain good health. The bark extract has a long history
of use as a cardiac stimulant for its favorable effects in
angina, i.e., “hritshool,” and is used in the treatment of heart
failure, atherosclerosis, and hypercholesterolemia [107]. The
herbal immunomodulator that contains T. arjuna is quite
benecial for strengthening immunity and battling against
Caecal coccidiosis [108]. The saponin glycosides are thought
to be responsible for its inotropic effects, while avonoids/
phenolics may provide antioxidant activity as well as vascular strengthening activity, conrming the medicinal plant’s
multifaceted role in cardio-protection [108].
Compared to their synthetic counterparts, many herbs and
spices naturally have higher concentrations of bioactive chemicals. Ginger, a common spice, is used in both food and medicine since it has long been known to help with digestion. Basil,
rosemary, cilantro, mint, and turmeric are just a few of the various herbs and spices that have historically been researched for
their therapeutic benets [109]. Due to their high concentration
of phytonutrients and other bioactive substances, herbs and
spices can offer signicant benets to overall nutrition and
hence toward immunity. Individuals with current eating patterns may nevertheless be decient in the critical nutrients
needed for optimal health. The enormous array of health advantages of herbs and spices has been found to be unknown to
many people [109]. Now, there is a growing interest and desire
among both the general public and healthcare experts to understand more about the use of herbs and spices in health promotion. Regular use of these nutrients may help to strengthen
immune defenses, which may reduce health risks and may
speed up recovery. Recent studies have even concentrated on
the use of herbs and spices to treat obese, metabolic syndromeaficted, and overweight people in order to lessen the effects of
cytokine cascades of inammation in the body, which are comparable to those seen in COVID-19 instances (Fig.4) [110].
5 Some Specic Eect ofHerbal
Medicines
5.1 Modulation ofCytokines by Herbal
Plant Products
Numerous invitro and invivo investigations to determine the
impact of herbal medicine on cytokines have demonstrated
that they have a signicant impact on a variety of cytokines.
Interleukins (ILs), interferons, chemokines, and other soluble extracellular proteins or glycoproteins known as cytokines are essential for both innate and acquired kinds of
immunity. These cytokines, which are secreted by all nucleated cells in an induced response to damage, maintain physiological stability through intermolecular interactions [19]. In
reality, understanding the medical literature on numerous
diseases makes it clear that these disease situations are connected to cytokine releases. These cytokines play a signicant part in most psychiatric disorders as well as diseases of
the central nervous system, and aberrant discharges of these
molecules have been shown. Under the control of cytokines,
numerous neurochemicals, neuroendocrine, and neuroimmune substances have manifested [111]. Numerous behavioral changes, good and negative emotions, stress, infections,
and other factors have all been shown to trigger cytokine
release, and their signicance in cases of depression [112],
Alzheimer’s disease [113], and schizophrenia [114] has been
well documented.
5.2 Prebiotic Eects onHumoral Immunity
inMedicinal Herbs
The gut microbiome, which is made up of more than 1000
different microbial species and is the rst barrier to overcome when taking herbal medications orally, is crucial for
both localized immune system training and food absorption
that affects lipid metabolism, which indirectly affects immunological prole [115]. It is well known that the active components of herbs have the potential to change the dynamic of
microbial composition when considering individual gut
enterotypes [116]. A higher concentration in the intestinal
lumen and epithelium can signicantly affect the gut micro-

397
biota given the low dose of active herbal components and
difculties in being absorbed by the human body [117]. In
addition to the direct impact of herbal ingredients on immune
cells, lactobacilli and bidobacteria, which control the
microbiota, play a critical role in immunological maturation
and, ultimately, pathogen defense [118]. Prebiotics have a
signicant impact on probiotic-mediated immunological
improvement that is connected with modication of effector
and regulatory T cell responses, according to randomized
clinical trials on humans and multiple animal studies. In fact,
oligosaccharides, such as inulin, fructooligosaccharides, and
galactooligosaccharides, which are active components of
herbs, promote the selective proliferation of these benecial
bacteria in the gut, polarizing the immune response toward
Th1 or Th2, and determining the outcome of antibody production by activated B cells [119]. Glabra Glycyrrhiza com-
paring recognized plants with such efcient production, such
as Lens culinaris and Camellia sinensis, Radix typically had
the biggest magnitude increase in prebiotic benets [120].
5.3 Herbal Medicine that Directly
Stimulates B Cells
in immunodecient patients with HIV infections, clinical
trial studies on the ingestion of Phyllanthus emblica,
Echinacea purpurea, and Plantago asiatica showed their
herbal components serve as a potential immunostimulatory
formulation with a signicant increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells and indirectly B lymphocytes response [126].
5.5 Bioavailability
A factor of great signicance is the herb’s active ingredients’
bioavailability. A substance must enter the bloodstream from
the gastrointestinal tract before it can act systemically.
Surprisingly little is known about herbal ingredients in this
area. Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis L.), a well-known
plant, contains substances like berberine and hydrastine that
are virtually not absorbed after oral ingestion. Parenteral
dosing of these alkaloids has been used in all animal studies
demonstrating systemic effects. However, Goldenseal
(Hydrastis canadensis) continues to be one of the most popular herbs, is heavily advertised, and is recognized as a general immunostimulant by an uninformed audience [127].
Only a limited portion of the medicinal component can be
absorbed and get to the Peyer’s patches and rst-cluster gutassociated lymphoid tissue. By taking immunomodulatory
herbs, it is possible to control the immunological response in
Peyer’s patches [121]. Thuja summitates, Echinacea purpurea
radix, Echinacea pallida radix, Baptisia tinctoria radix, and
Echinacea pallida radix may all be able to activate B cells
within Peyer’s patches cells [122]. Additionally, these herbs
can enhance the activation of antibodies against other infections, such as lipopolysaccharide (a gram-negative bacterium’s endotoxin from its cell wall). It is widely known that
1,3-D-glucan, which is present in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is
one of the active macromolecules incorporated by M cells
(transporting particles with diameter range of 100 nm to
10 m) via endocytosis to reach the Peyer’s plaques [123].
However, this glucan also activates peritoneal macrophages
and causes the production of cytokines that helps to modulate
immunity. Additionally, Glycyrrhiza glabra Radix, Withania
somnifera Radix, Astragalus propinquus Radix, Oldenlandia
diffusa, and Carthamus tinctorius have experimental data
supporting their ability to modulate B-cell activity [124].
5.4 Herbal Remedies that Indirectly
Stimulate Cellular Immunity
Follicular helper T cells and dendritic cells, in particular,
have the ability to drastically alter both the number and quality of the humoral response of B cells to antigens [125]. Even
6 Representative Examples ofNatural
Products withImmunomodulating
Properties
The active ingredients from herbal medicines are mainly
responsible for their biological activities [128–130]. The natural products belonging to the groups which are also known
as secondary metabolites like phenolics, saponins, terpenoids,
alkaloids, fatty acids, etc. play crucial role in enhancing the
human immune system. The compounds like curcumin, quercetin, luteolin, propolis, and other secondary metabolites had
shown potential immunostimulatory actions [4]. Some examples of natural products have been discussed here.
A avonoid quercetin is present in many plant species and
not synthesized in human body. The studies show that this
compound possesses antioxidant, antibacterial, antiinammatory, and antiviral properties [131]. In one of the
clinical trials patients with rheumatoid arthritis were put on
quercetin medication with 50mg/day for 8weeks. This was
observed that the disease symptoms improved with reduction
in pain plasma and levels of hs-TNF compared with the placebo group [132].
A dietary ber glucan which is a polymer of D-glucose is
a natural product and linked in various combination through
glycosidic bond. These are present in cell walls of many
fungi, algae, and bacteria. Also, these are present in wheat,
rye, barley, and oats. The studies have shown that the
β-glucan enhances the cytotoxic activity of macrophages and
NK cells, this helps in improvement in host immunity [133].

These bers also interact with several cell surface receptors
such as lactosylceramide selected scavenger, dectin-1, and
complement receptor 3 and enhances immune system [4,

a glycan which enhances immunity through IgG or Iga
expression in small intestinal and serum uid [4].
Another immunoregulator natural product molecule is
melatonin, an indole derivative hormone. This molecule has
been obtained from grapes, polives, maize, cherries, black
pepper, seeds of Coffea arabica, Curcuma longa, Hypericum
perforatum, etc. This molecule lowers the proinammatory
cytokines and inhibits the immunity response [134].
7 Conclusions
The immune system plays a pivotal role to maintain human
health by protecting the body from pathogens. The adaptive
and innate types of the immune system encounter viruses,
bacteria, or fungi to eliminate them and guard the body.
However, the over expressive immune system is a problem to
human beings as this leads to autoimmune diseases and allergies. The dietary balance, adequate food, minerals, and vitamins help in developing strong immunity systems. The
traditional knowledge along with modern scientic tools has
established the role of herbal medicines along with different
natural ingredients in enhancing the immunity. The presence
of bioactive phytochemicals like avonoids, terpenoids,
polyphenols, vitamins, etc. in herbal materials showed
immunomodulatory properties. The bioactive phytochemicals control the optimum functioning of immune cells,
including basophils, NK cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes,
macrophages, and mast cells, thereby enhancing the human
immunity.
The role of herbal medicines in health-promoting effects
including immunity still has to go a long way because there
is lack of scientic evidences and clinical trials of various
herbal materials and formulations. Another challenge is the
quantication of active ingredients which keep changing due
to change in altitude, ecology, and environments. Future
research in this eld requires proper quantication of phytochemicals, efcacy of the extracts, proper dose range, etc.
