Ojas: The Essence of Immunity
Modern medicine fights the germ. Ayurveda strengthens the host. Immunity isn't just a defense system; it's a glowing substance called Ojas.
The Purest Essence
Ojas (vigor) is the final byproduct of digestion. After food passes through the 7 tissues (plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone, nerves, reproductive), the finest essence remaining is Ojas.
It takes 30 days for a meal to turn into Ojas. This honey-like substance resides in the heart and circulates through the body, giving you skin glow, strength, and immunity.

Ojas Calculation
The "Rasayanas" (Rejuvenators)
1. Chyawanprash
The original bio-hack. Formulated by Rishi Chyawana.
Science: Packed with Amla (50x Vitamin C of oranges). Increases Natural Killer (NK) cell activity and macrophage activation.
2. Golden Milk (Haldi Doodh)
Turmeric + Black Pepper + Milk + Ghee.
Science: Curcumin is anti-inflammatory. Pepper increases absorption by 2000%. Ghee delivers it to cells (lipid carrier).
3. Giloy (Guduchi)
"Amrita" or the Root of Immortality.
Science: A powerful immunomodulator. Excellent for chronic fevers, low platelets (dengue), and autoimmune conditions.
4. Ashwagandha
"Smell of a Horse". Gives stamina.
Science: Reduces cortisol (stress hormone). High stress suppresses the immune system; Ashwagandha restores it.
What Destroys Ojas?
You can take all the herbs in the world, but if you do these things, your immunity bucket will keep leaking:
- 1.Excessive SexAyurveda warns that loss of reproductive tissue (Shukra) directly depletes Ojas.
- 2.Stress & GriefConstant worry "dries up" the nourishing juices of the body.
- 3.Processed SugarSugar paralyzes white blood cells for hours after consumption.
- 4.Late NightsBody repair happens between 10 PM - 2 AM. Missing this window weakens you.
"I used to catch a cold every month. Dr. Arti suggested 'Nasyam' and daily Chyawanprash. It's been 6 months, and I haven't fallen sick once, even when my whole office had the flu."
