Immunomodulation is a very broad term which refers to any changes in the immune response and may involve induction expression and amlification in the immune response. Immunomodulation can be classified into the following three categories: immunoadjuvants, immunostimulants and immunosuppressants.

In children it is improved by Lehan karma by various herbominral formulations. The use of Ayurvedic immunomodulator improves the overall children’s growth by decreasing morbidity.
