Looking at immunity from an Ayurvedic viewpoint we must talk about Ojas, the vital nectar of life. In Ayurveda this is called Ojas Vijnanam. The specialised knowledge of the bodily essence called Ojas.
We will be releasing our Ayurvedic immunity kit very soon!
Ojas is responsible for consciousness, purity in thoughts, health, positivity, immunity, longevity, intelligence and memory
Ojas is one of the most important element to maintain and sustain life.
The primary location of Ojas is the heart ♥️ where it circulates to and throughout the entire body.
There are two types of Ojas:
1. Para (hridaya sthana) - this Ojas stays in the heart.
2. Apara Ojas (Sarvanga sharira vyapi) moves throughout the body (like ghee in milk). Any decrease in Apara Ojas will result in weakness in the body and low immunity.
For optimal health, an individual needs a constant, fixed amount of Ojas that is stabilised in the heart and other tissues. This Ojas maintains the immune mechanism and the span of an individual’s life.
Looking to improve Ojas? Check out our free Ojas Drink downloadable on our Blog for the recipe and more information.
