Immune System

What is the immune system?
The immune system fights off disease and it begins the healing process. The immune system fights every kind of problem the body encounters, from that little cut on your finger to the virus we just can’t seem to shake. Even the aging process may be related to a deteriorated immune system.

How to recognize a weakened immune system
Having a weakened immune system makes us vulnerable to every type of illness. Some common signs of impaired immune functions include fatigue, repeated infections, inflammation, allergic reactions, slow wound healing, chronic diarrhoea and infections related to overgrowth of benign organisms already present in the body, such as oral thrush, vaginal yeast infections and other fungal infections.

Dark circles could be directly related to an immune system malfunction.
