Introduction

Adequate fertilization programs supply the amounts of plant nutrients needed to sustain maximum net returns (Balkrishnamurthy, 2008). On the other hand, increasing costs of chemical inputs have left farmers helpless, resulting in decreasing seed quality of certain crops and resulting in the fall of commodity prices and consequently reducing farm income (Anywar et al., 2020). In such situation, the organic fertilizers play a major role in order to achieve sustainable agriculture. Organic fertilizer is a suitable source of macro and micronutrients (Jain, 1992). To increase the quality of crops, especially medicinal and aromatic crops, organic fertilization are better than chemical fertilizers. Many investigators have pointed out the influence of organic manure by increasing the growth, yield and essential oil production of aromatic and medicinal plants (Kaushik, 1962). Among organic fertilizers, farmyard manure (FYM) is a valuable source of nutrients and its yield increasing effect is well established (Babich et al., 2020) Medicinal plants from traditional medicine are rich source of compounds used for the development of medicines for a wide range of diseases or medicinal Plants are rich source of compounds which are mainly responsible for treating the wide range of disease or strong immune system is the most essential part of our overall well-being (Uzun & 2016). The immune system is our most critical and its main function is to keep us strong and healthy. Consuming vitamins, Enzymes and Minerals from the natural source of plant will ensure stability in stronger immunity forever. The immune system is a complex network of cells and proteins thatprotect the body from infection (Jatav & Ramdayal, 2019). The immune system keeps a record of every microbe. Thus, whenever any microbe enters the body again, our body’s immune system quickly responds to it by detecting and attacking it to prevent the body from its ill effects. The stronger the immune system, healthier the body is because it doesn’t allow any foreign element to destroy it biologically.

Medicinal plants are main elements of local medicine and are of vital importance in traditional health. Atharvaveda is the oldest literature which contains the knowledge of utilizing the power of nature to treat all kinds of diseases to ensure lifelong healthy Life.Similarly, Ayurveda is also very important for the use of medicinal plants. Similarly, Ayurvedaalso teaches us the usage of medicinal plants to maintain well-being in our lives. Many interview of Ayurveda and Unani Doctors available in public domain also clearly states that plants helpful in boosting the immune system within Human beings are easily accessible in every season.

Many medicinal plants have been used since ancient times for the treatment of boosting the immune system. Many important plants like Lehsun, Karonda,Methi, Tejpatta, Dalchini, Nimbu, Ilaychi, Anar, Karry leaves and Amla have been used of immunity booster plants.

Materials and Methods

The study has been conducted in the nearby areas of Bhopal. The survey was carried out rigorously to collect information about plants responsible for boosting the immunity. In the survey, we also reached out to local people and Doctors to recognize the seasonal plants containing medicinal properties in their areas and learnt about their importance from them.

Results and Discussion

In the current study, it was found that plants used in immunity booster can be easily found in the Bhopal area. It is important that the search and discovery of such medicinal plants continuous. These precious efforts should be made for the cultivation and conservation of valuable medicinal plants.

The names of seasonal plants are like this- Lehsun, Sweet neem, Karonda, Methi,Tejpatta, Dalchini, Nimbu, Ilaychi,Anar, Amla. Plants with Common Name, Botanical Name, and parts used in immunity booster (Table 1).
