The immune system included the thymus and bone marrow, as well as secondary lymphatic tissues including spleen, tonsils, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, adenoids, skin, and liver, is the body's defense against infectious organisms and foreign invaders.
Immune dysfunction can be classified into
* The underactive immune system is also known as the weakened immune system. People with an underactive immune system are susceptible to infection, recurrent infections.
* The overactive immune system is also known as autoimmune disease. In this case, patients suffer diseases associated with the immune system that attack the body tissues.
The immunomodulatory effect is a process in which the immune function is modulated to the needs of the body.
In the acute phase of infection, the immune macrophages, the first line of defense stimulate the production of blood palette to cover the wound or injury and pro-inflammatory cytokines to the site of infection to kill off pathogens before they can enter the body to multiply.
Most cases of infection are stopped at the acute phase, depending on the size and penetration of the wound.
The most common symptoms of acute inflammation occurred within a short period of time such as hours pain, redness, immobility, swelling, and heat.
Conventionally, depending on the types of acute inflammation, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed to alleviate the pain by counteracting an enzyme that contributes to inflammation.
However, if the immune system for whatever reason such as in people with a weakened immune system can not destroy the foreign invaders in a set period of time (3-8 weeks), it will adapt to the new change, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation.
Low-grade inflammation over time has been found to destroy cells and tissues in the affected area or organ, inducing chronic inflammatory diseases, including diabetes, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
In finding a potent compound that modulatory the immune response, researchers examined the ashwagandha WS immunomodulatory effect.
According to the searching of the related studies and trials on Databases- DPED, UNPD, PubChem, Binding DB, ChEMBL, KEGG, and STRING, WS immune showed an immunomodulatory capability of regulating 15 immune system pathways.
Additionally, WS also exerted the immunomodulatory effect by targeting 16 proteins and protein-protein interactions.
Chemical analysis also suggested that the efficacy of WS in immunomodulation was also attributed to
the potential of withanolide-phytosterol combination and seven novel bioactive-immune target combinations.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "The study elucidated an in silico molecular mechanism of immunomodulation of WS. It unveils the potential of the withanolide-phytosterol combination to achieve better immunomodulation. Experimental validation of the network findings would aid in understanding the rationale behind WS immunomodulation as well as aid in bioactive formulation-based drug discovery.".
Taken together, Ashwagandha may be considered a functional herb for immune modulation, pending the result of a larger sample size and multicenter study
