According to Ayurveda, the theory of Immunity is called ‘beej-bhumi’ which literally translates to ‘seed-land’. Our body is the ‘land’ in which the ‘bugs’/infection are like seeds. When our body has infections, ‘Ama’ which is the toxic by-product is formed. As the ‘ama’ in the body increases and ‘Ojas’ (which is the fine vital energy formed in the body as a result of proper digestion) decreases, the ‘seeds’ or the infection also finds its fertile soil to grow on.

Ayurveda believes that negative emotions can also be a reason for the decrease in ‘Ojas’ like feelings of anger, hatred, guilt, jealousy, hunger, excessive fatigue and so on… The weakening of immunity can also occur due to negative emotions, excessive antibiotics, lack of physical activity, also genetic factors. Good health is a sign of a good immune system.

Another aspect of Ayurveda is called ‘Tejas’- the intelligence of our body. Our body has ‘Tejas’ that is it is able to differentiate between the foreign organisms and their own cells. ‘Tejas’ helps the cells communicate with each other through hormones and other ‘chemical messages’. When the intelligence of the body is disturbed due to toxins or trauma, ‘Tejas’ is blocked and so it cannot distinguish the cells properly. This condition commonly leads to autoimmune disease.

We must consume food that will help to increase ‘Tejas’ and avoid consuming food that will increase ‘ama’ in the body.

Here are some tips to boost your immunity:

• Consume natural and easily digestible food and increase the intake of raw fruits and vegetables.
• Consume cereals, legumes, low-fat organic dairy products and food which are neither raw nor overcooked.
• Consume food kept at room temperature; avoid too much consumption of refrigerated food.
• Dairy products such as milk, paneer (cottage cheese) and ghee are good for boosting the Ojas energy as ghee and milk have the property to stimulate Ojas. Adding a bit of cardamom to warm milk will increase the digestion power.
• The whole-grain foods such as quinoa, amaranth, flax seeds also have a positive effect on the immune system, because they contain fiber and valuable nutrients, which clean up the toxic substances from the body.
• The green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, leafy cabbage, are recommended for a weak immune system. They also contain calcium, iron and other valuable nutrients that have a cleansing effect on bowels. Few other vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower contain a lot of antioxidants and flavonoids that also stimulate immunity.
• The legumes contain a high amount of proteins, are light and healthy and so they are highly recommended in Ayurveda.
• Avoid consumption of processed food as they increase the ‘ama’ content in the body. They don’t allow ‘Tejas’ to reach the body cells which in turn causes toxins to accumulate in the body. As the non-digested foods increase in the body, the food starts to rot and a process of fermentation begins and thus toxic substances are released in the body.
• Add some immune-stimulating spices to your diet.
• turmeric has immunity stimulating effects due to its ability to remove toxins from the body which helps reduce ‘ama’.
• pepper: cleanses the body entirely so that it facilitates ‘Ojas’ energy to reach the tissues in depth.
• cardamom, cinnamon, healing herbs can be consumed in the form of tea or tonics.

Ayurveda not only recommends being physically active but also to give enough rest to the body. Give yourself some good body massage in order to restore the strength. Most important of all is practicing meditation, breathing techniques like pranayama and practicing Yoga.

Some of the asanas which help in building immunity are Sukhasana, Matsyasana, Ardhamatsyendrasana, Trikonasana, Tadasana. For more details on how to do the asanas and how it helps in building immunity, refer 7 Yogasanas that help in building the immune system.

As said above, all these tips are aimed to restore balance in the body and help repair underlying imbalance and strengthen the immune system, rather than treating the problem. Eat healthily and stay healthy.

Efficient digestion nourishes the body, provides energy and keeps you healthy, while a poor digestive health may have a bad bearing on the overall well-being of a person.
Here are 7 Ayurvedic Practices to Improve Your Digestion –

1. Manage Stress

Too much stress or anxiety can cause our digestive system to go weak. Meditating for 20 to 30 minutes, twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening helps in strengthening your digestion process by reliving the negative energies off you.

2. Exercise or Practice Yoga Daily

Do some form of daily activities, whether it is a little yoga every morning, or a daily walk for strengthening your digestion. Even, short post-meal walks are very much effective than taking a longer, 45-minute walk once daily.

3. Don’t overeat

More food means more acid to digest which means more chances of acid reflux and indigestion. According to Ayurveda, its recommended that we leave one-third to one-quarter of our stomach empty to allow space for our body to easily digest our meal.
Follow this simple way to measure an ideal portion of food for a meal based on your body size – Cup your hands together with your fingertips touching, forming the shape of a bowl. The recommended amount of food for a meal is the equivalent of two of these handfuls of food.

4. Ginger Tea throughout the Day

Having ginger tea throughout the day, and with meals is extremely good for digestion. The superfood stimulates digestion by speeding up the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine, and helps eliminate digestive discomfort after eating. Also, ginger can stimulate saliva, bile, and gastric enzymes to aid in digestion of the food that has been ingested.

5. Eat your largest meal at lunchtime

Our digestive system secretes the highest concentration of “digestive juices” during the noon time, making this the best time to eat our largest meal. While, having a biggest meal at dinner in the evening, when our digestive fire is weaker will lead to indigestion, heaviness and bloating.

6. Avoid Smoking and excessive Alcohol

Alcohol, Smoking and coffee can interfere with the functioning of our digestive system, and lead to problems like stomach ulcers and heartburn. Avoid smoking and excessive intake of caffeine and alcohol!

7. Practice Healthy Hygiene for Better Digestion

Washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before eating or preparing food is highly recommended. This helps prevent transmission of potentially dangerous bacteria into your food.

It is the best home remedy for fatty liver disease. It promotes healthy liver functioning by reducing inflammation. Add a tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar to a cup of warm water and drink it every day in the morning. You can add honey to enhance the taste.

3. Lemon

Lemon is extremely rich in Vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps the liver produce enzymes called glutathione. Glutathione neutralizes toxins; thus, lemon helps the liver with detoxification. Take the juice of ½ lemon in a glass of water and drink it 2 or 3 times a day for several weeks.

4. Turmeric

It improves the body’s ability to digest fats so they do not accumulate in the liver. It also aids the liver detoxification process. Mix ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder in a glass of water and boil it. Have it twice daily for a couple of weeks.

5. Papaya

Except for a diet, there’s probably nothing that plays an important role in maintaining your body’s health and wellbeing as much as a good night’s sleep does.It is your body’s nature-appointed time for rest, relaxation and restoration. It is the time when your body is able to relieve itself of all emotional and mental stress and restore its physical balance.

The less sleep you get, the more challenging the next day feels. This might end up making you feel numb or impervious to what’s going on around you and incapable of handling daily tasks.

Let’s take a deeper look at the root cause of sleep deprivation according to Ayurveda.

Sleepless nights: The Ayurvedic perspective

There are three types of sleep imbalances and each has something to do with your body’s dosha constitution, namely: Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

Sleeplessness Caused by Vata imbalance

If your problem is that you are unable to fall asleep and feel restless throughout the night, then you may be experiencing a Vata-imbalance.

This can be remedied by taking simple measures such as using warmth and weight to comfort your body’s Vata. You could try wearing warm and cozy socks to bed and using a heavier blanket. Taking a warm bath right before you go to sleep can also be a great way to naturally induce sleepiness if you’re someone experiencing a Vata imbalance.

Try reducing your ceiling fan’s speed since Vata is a life force associated with air and wind and heavier winds can end up disrupting your Vata balance.

Sleeplessness Caused by Pitta imbalance

Those with a Pitta imbalance may find it easy to fall asleep but might wake up during early morning hours and find it difficult to return back to sleep.
People with Pitta-imbalances are able to sleep better in a cool atmosphere Turn the heat down a few degrees,or slightly open your window up a little to let the night breeze in.. This will reduce your chances of waking up in the middle of the night when the temperature gets too humid. In short,the cooler the environment, the deeper the sleep.

Sleep problems caused by Kapha imbalance

A person with a Kapha imbalance, on the other hand, might be able to get several hours of deep and restful sleep but still feel tired or lethargic when waking up. If this is the case with you, try doing the following:

• Wake up before 6.00 a.m. Sleeping well past dawn can cause an accumulation in the body’s ama (toxins)
• Decrease your daily coffee intake and try herbal tea (green tea) instead. This works better to help eliminate ama from your body and freshen up your senses.
• Try a Kapha-pacifying diet. You should avoid desserts and cold ice-cream.
• Do daily exercises between 6-10 in the morning (also known as the Kapha time of the morning.
• Sleep in a dark environment. Dim the lights and go to bed wearing something super comfy like pajamas.make sure your sheets are comfortable(try organic cotton ones).

A few sleep-supporting habits

• Follow your body’s circadian rhythms daily. Take a leisurely walk at sunrise and during sunset. This will signal your body when it is time to rise and when it is time to rest.
• Let the light in! Open your windows and draw your curtains back. If you’re having trouble sleeping, switch your phone off and bask in the warmth of the evening sun as it sets. The resulting difference might amaze you.
• Eat a well-cooked meal at least 3-4 hours before bedtime. Having your meals right before you go to sleep signals your body to stay awake and active to digest the food. It would be best to have your dinner in the late evening.
• Allow yourself to engage in stress-free activities before you go to sleep. In other words, let your mind get into a relaxed and unperturbed state.
• It would be best to finish all work-related activities around 7pm or at least 3-4 hours before you go to sleep.
• Sleep comes naturally and effortlessly. You don’t need to go out of your way to try and find it. You just need to get into that mindstate where it can find you,

Place your palms facing towards the thighs and bring the body downwards slowly and let your palms touch the ground. Tuck your stomach in and inhale deeply. It too stimulates blood circulation in head.
