Immune Balance

Meaning

Immune Balance refers to the critical homeostatic state of the immune system where it effectively mounts a protective response against pathogens and abnormal cells while simultaneously maintaining tolerance toward self-antigens and harmless environmental substances. This dynamic equilibrium is essential for health, as deviations can lead to two major pathological states: immunodeficiency, characterized by insufficient defense, or autoimmunity/chronic inflammation, characterized by excessive self-directed attack. Hormonal and metabolic health are intrinsically linked to the maintenance of this delicate balance.
