It’s been more than 5 years since the infamous pandemic and lockdown. Everything related to the disease and how to treat it was haywire. One thing though was constant- the talks on immunity and how to improve it. It still is one of the hot topics of discussion in the medical and health care sector.

**What is immunity?**

Immunity, as we all know, is our body’s defence force, our body’s army. Lymphocytes, antibodies, lymph glands and a ton of more factors contribute to a good immune system. Immunity is not dependent on one factor but many.

Similarly, in Ayurveda, immunity a.k.a _vyaadhikshamatva_ is a complex entity, contributed by many factors. Some of these major factors are body’s strength, digestive fire, _ojas_ or the vital factor and a balanced state of all the bodily constituents.

**Maintaining immunity according to Ayurveda:**

_Chyavanprash_, _ashvagandha_ are not the only things that help with immunity.

One can improve or maintain their immunity by:

1. Following a proper daily routine - a proper and systematic, scientific daily routine should be followed that takes care of normal excretory procedures, detoxification, diet and sleep.
2. Following proper seasonal regimen- every season has different environmental conditions and thus different regimen. Following proper seasonal routines help avoid seasonal diseases
3. Taking care of the digestive fire- avoiding over-eating, eating stale food or not eating at proper times can deteriorate the digestive fire ultimately affecting one’s immunity.
4. _Rasayan_- certain herbs are meant for improving the strength and immunity of the body. A proper consultation from an ayurvedic physician can help provide guidance.

Taking care of the above mentioned factors helps maintain a state of health and equilibrium in the body, which ultimately provides strength and helps keep the diseases away. Like every body is different, every person may require a different approach to maintain their immunity. An ayurvedic practitioner should be consulted with for focusing on one or a combination of the above factors depending on the requirements of the person’s body.

What more factors affect a person’s immunity? Kindly share!
