Description

Immunity concept in Ayurveda has been widely spread under three main headings: (i) Vyadhi Kshamathwa: the concept of resistance to illness development (ii) Ojas: the concept of supreme resilience (iii) Bala: the concept of strength. Immunity should encompass the homeostasis of body, mind and soul. For a truly holistic concept of immunity, we should bring together the understanding of all three concepts mentioned in Ayurveda to maintain this homeostasis and regulate our metabolism. “Vyaadhikshamatva” is the Ayurveda terminology that can be closely correlated to Immunity which literally means “efficiency of the body to resist diseases”. Physical and psychological resistance is of enormous significance in fighting and conquering diseases. 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. The immune system comprising of the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, macrophages, lymphocytes including the B cells and T cells, and antibodies, is what protects our body from diseases and infections by defending from foreign substances, cells, and tissues. The Ayurvedic concept of Ojas explains the impact of immunity caused by excessive anger, craving, worry, sadness, and exertion. This interconnected understanding of digestion, mind, and immunity in Ayurveda helps us develop natural remedies that influence the body-mind-soul positively. Afterall the ability to withstand change can only be developed by maintaining a state of equilibrium of this trio.
