Plants play an important role in strengthening immunity against viruses

All organisms, including the human environment, are a combination of physical, chemical and anthropogenic components and are a source of danger to humans. This opinion was voiced in an interview with Irada Mammadova, a researcher at the Laboratory of Introduction and Air Conditioning of Trees and Shrubs of the Institute of Dendrology of ANAS, who spoke about the role of plants in strengthening viruses and immunity against them.

The number of viruses currently being studied reaches five thousand, but their number is estimated at more than one million. According to the classification of viruses, they contain RNA and DNA, and that the COVID-19 virus, which covers the world, belongs to the group of RNA-containing Coronaviridae viruses, she noted.

"According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, the main ways to get rid of this virus is to stay at home, take a responsible approach to social isolation and personal hygiene (hand and respirator) and use a number of folk remedies to strengthen the immune system," Mammadova said. She noted that a number of simple remedies can help maintain a high level of immunity, prevent colds and viral diseases, as well as make it easier to pass these diseases.
