Ayurveda and Immunity

Vyādhi-kṣamatva (lit. resistance against disease) is the term used for immune system (ref. Charak Samhita). This is sometimes termed bala (lit. strength, ref. Sushruta Samhita). The strength or bala is decided based on Sahaja (genes), kalaja (time, season, age), yuktikruta (what you have done about yourself).

Disease affects the seven dhātu of the body[i]. According to Ayurveda, the essence of all the seven dhātu is ojas. One may ask, is Ojas the same as Bala? It is not, however, all that feeds the Ojas strengthens the immunity. Herein we have two types of Ojas: Para Ojas (keeps one alive) and Apara Ojas (feeds the bodily functions). According to the tradition, the latter is examined in the Somanātha Drekkaṇa (D-3 SM).
