Not a good idea: You should talk to your rheumatologist first. Medicines to boost your immune system could make your autoimmune disease worse.

Humira (adalimumab) and herbs: Yes, however, there is no scientific data that these herbs will do anything. A healthy diet is the best way to boost your immune system.
