Ayurveda offers an effective approach to enhancing our immune systems by facilitating the regular elimination of accumulated toxins and rejuvenating old, worn-out tissues and cells with new ones. Therapies such as Dhaara, Kizhi, and Abhyanga utilize medicinal oils, herbs, and powders to cleanse, strengthen, and revitalize the body. When combined with suitable external therapies tailored to your specific needs, medicines like Indukantham Kashayam, Imugest tablets, and Drakshadi Kashaayam can help optimize the function of your immune cells.

Instead of focusing solely on eliminating disease-causing substances, Ayurveda has traditionally emphasized enhancing the body’s overall natural resistance to ailments.

Body immunity, or Sahajabala, refers to intrinsic immunity that is genetically determined and inborn. In contrast, Kalajabala and Yuktikrutabala are forms of immunity influenced by seasonal changes or age, which can be modulated through diet, exercise, lifestyle practices, and immunomodulators known as rasayanas.

Ayurveda offers various methods to boost host immunity, including Dinacharya (daily regimen) and Ritucharya (seasonal regimen).

Therapeutic cleansing procedures, such as Panchakarma, along with immunomodulators like Rasayana, are central to these practices.

The selection of Ayurvedic therapeutic ingredients and practices is influenced by a person’s hereditary characteristics, known as Dosha Prakriti types (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha).

Many Ayurvedic herbs, such as Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), are known to enhance physical immunity and help restore immunological balance, making them effective for managing inflammatory conditions. Rasayana formulations that include Ashwagandha, Guduchi, Amalaki, and Yashtimadhu play a crucial role in building immunity.
