Understanding Immunity in Ayurveda: Beyond Quick Fixes

• Ama: Toxins that build up in the body due to poor digestion and unhealthy eating habits.
• Ojas depletion: Loss of your body’s ultimate energy reserve (supports immunity, vitality, and mental clarity) caused by stress or poor routines.
• Rasayana Therapy: Ayurvedic rejuvenation practices that restore health, repair tissues, and strengthen immunity.

Immunity Booster Ayurvedic Approach

• Rasayana Therapy: Rejuvenates tissues and strengthens Ojas.  
• Dinacharya: Daily rituals like oil pulling and mindful eating.  
• Modern research aligns with Ayurveda: 70% of immune cells reside in the gut, underscoring the importance of digestion. 

Why Diet Matters: Food as Medicine

Immune-boosting foods work by:

• Balancing Doshas – e.g., Ginger pacifies excess Kapha, reducing congestion and sluggishness.
• Nourishing Vital Tissues (Dhatus) – e.g., Almonds support Majja (bone marrow), which produces infection-fighting white blood cells.
• Strengthening Digestion (Agni) – e.g., Black pepper enhances metabolism and nutrient absorption.
