Immune Boosting Functional Foods for Strengthening Host Defense Mechanism to Combat in Opposition to Covid-19 and Unani Guidelines of Ayush for Its Prevention
Abstract: The Immune systems protect the host in opposition to infectious and poisonous diseases and guard from contagious agents present in the environment, such as viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites. Blood performs an essential position in enhancing immunity because of the arrival of white blood cells or tissues that combat in opposition to infectious diseases. Sometimes they are not able to understand those organisms. Due to this reason, we want to …

A Case Study on Ayurvedic Management of Psoriasis.
Abstract: Psoriasis is non-contagious, chronic autoimmune disease which causes inflammation and hyper-proliferation of the skin. It is characterized by erythematous plaques that are clearly defined and associated with severe itching and silvery scaling, especially on extensor surfaces, scalp and nails. At times, it may manifest as localized or generalised pustular eruption which usually follows relapses and remissions pattern. Psoriasis may lead to other autoimmune diseases like psoriatic arthritis. In Ayurveda, Variety …
