Immunity is our body’s defence mechanism which helps us to stay fit and healthy. A good immune system protects us from many allergies, inflammations and keeps us healthy.
Immune system,which is known as Ojas in Ayurveda digest and absorbs everything we eat. These nutrients absorbed get converted into seven main tissues like plasma, blood, muscles, bones, fat, etc. and act as the nectar of our metabolic cycle, like a reserve. In Ayurveda, we strongly believe that the body’s immune power works as our mental, physical, and emotional defence mechanism. So, if our immune system is strong, we can avoid infections and allergies, not only at a physical level, but also avoid getting stressed, remains strong and emotionally balanced.
