Allergy Season : Immunity Explained ( The Ayurveda Way) !

Immunity Introduction When it comes to the immune system, two words that are most important are antigens and antibodies. To put it simply, antigens are any foreign bodies or toxins that initiate an immune response in the body. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to fight against these antigens. Let us just assume our body’s immune system and its response as an interesting drama that plays as long as we live. Now, certainly, it should have some main characters without which the drama never unfolds.  White blood cells (WBC) , also known as leukocytes are the key factors or main characters that help build and maintain a strong immune system in our body. They circulate through the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels and do a constant patrol every time so that our body is always ready to fight any foreign body.

Home Remedies For Sinusitis & Sinus Infections

Sinus infection is one of the most common infections affecting the respiratory tract. People suffering from sinusitis experience headache, pain and a sense of heaviness or pressure on the sinuses or the cheek bones.

When fully developed, the female adult breast comprises 15–20 lobes with milk-producing glands and a network of branching ducts inside them.  These lobes are separated by bands of connective tissue that radiate out from the nipple like spokes from the middle of a bicycle wheel.
