Most of us have experienced the feeling of disappointment when we need to take frequent leaves from work due to a weak immune system. Getting sick seldomly is a natural part of life, and avoiding it altogether is not realistic. But when it comes down to it, we all want to feel healthy and well, and would rather avoid illness and disease.
Human beings are born with a basic immune system that is weak. Through constant interaction with the microbes in our environment, and within our gut, we learn to fight against new microbes, which helps to strengthen the immune system. Immunity, as we understand it through modern medicine, is the function of certain cells, enzymes and immunomodulatory chemicals that attack pathogens and prevent them from creating diseases.
Ayurveda, the traditional medicine system of India, has a huge potential in preventive and curative healthcare. Immunity is a concept explained in Ayurveda under multiple topics. The most important ones are Bala the concept of strength, Vyadhi Kshamatwa the concept of resistance to illness development, and Ojas the concept of supreme resilience. The concept of Bala explains the ability of the system to repair and nourish itself and be effective in disease prevention, whereas Vyadhi Kshamatwa is the ability of the immune system to fight against disease-causing pathogens. While the former is a product of the overall balance of body functions, tissues, digestion, and elimination, the latter purely denotes the function of our immune system and recovery after encountering pathogenic organisms.
The Sanskrit word Ojas literally means “Vigor.” The concept of Ojas explains the direct correlation between digestion and immunity. Ojas is the final product of physiological metabolism taking place in our body as a part of tissue nourishment. The seven types of tissues are nourished one by one because of properly functioning metabolic pathways and the result of this process is Ojas. It is considered the essence of the food we consume, and a healthy level of Ojas indicates proper tissue nourishment. The function of Ojas is not just explained as resistance to disease but it is resilience to any form of unfavorable physical, mental, or environmental change which would probably create an imbalance, leading to disease, but is otherwise dealt with effectively due to the presence of Ojas.
The preventive aspect of our immunity function is majorly related to our digestive system. Balanced doshas or bio-energies, through cleansing, are also essential for proper resistance to illness. When the body is filled with toxins due to compromised digestive power, the infections, and flus around you find fertile ground to prosper, thereby compromising the efficacy of your immune system. So also, the transition of seasons from the hot and cold makes everyone susceptible to infections because the body changes as per the climate.
According to Ayurveda, if your diet and daily routine are not adjusted as per the change in seasons, the ama (toxins) in your body will prevent your immune system from improving and becoming stronger. So eventually, strong immunity is a result of better digestion, metabolism, healthy body tissues and balanced Tridosha (Bio-energies).
With a modern lifestyle of eating packaged food, consuming an imbalanced diet and increased screen time, comes weak immunity.
Factors that act negatively on our Immunity are as follows -
- Imbalanced diet
- Excessive alcohol intake
- Irregular sleep.
- High stress
- Obesity
- Chronic medications
- Dehydration
Body immunity cannot be enhanced overnight. A healthy lifestyle, balanced dietary intake and consuming an ayurvedic immunity booster medicine result in strong immunity. Ayurveda has depicted various rules and regimens regarding diet and behavior to acclimatize seasonal enforcement easily without altering body homeostasis. Along with this, the ancient texts have also described numerous ayurvedic immunity booster herbs
