She explained the role of natural ingredients in various diseases. Nutraceuticals are safe, can be used for longer periods and provide immunity to the body. It has been shown that a healthy immune system can defeat disease-causing pathogens. So, keeping immune system pumped up is one of the easiest ways to stay away from diseases, including a common cold and the flu. She also updated about the products of Dabur Research Lab with key ingredients which are scientifically proven and well reported in literature to enhance and boost the immunity of our body. They are also useful in COVID and act by mechanism which involves targeted stimulation of inherent disease fighting properties, such as modulating T-cells activity via increased cytokine secretion or controlling cytokine storm, enhancement of phagocytosis (eradication of pathogen) and boosting natural killer cells activity to fight an infection.  The talk was very interesting and well appreciated by the students and staff.
