Alleviate discomfort
A weakened immune system can be the result of various diseases. Medicinal plants such as echinacea or linden blossoms can then help to get the immune system back on track. This supports the healing process.

The effect of medicinal plants has its limits. If your complaints persist over a longer period of time, do not get better or even get worse despite treatment, you should always consult a doctor.
Prevent infections
Phytotherapy is also suitable for the prevention of a weak immune system and subsequent infections. In addition, however, you should pay attention to a healthy lifestyle. A lot of stress and hectic, an unhealthy diet, hardly any exercise and little sleep can weaken the body’s defenses to such an extent that even medicinal plants can hardly do anything against the resulting susceptibility to infections.
