Our immune system is a busy network of lymphoid tissue and organs, cells, humoral factors and cytokines.

Naturopathy believes that the body is a self-regulating organism and thus the naturopath is merely the facilitator whose role it is both to enhance the proper functioning of the immune system so that it can ward off disease and also to protect and support it against further damage.
