Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science And Advanced Clinical Research (IJMACR) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
In Ayurveda, Vyadhikshamatva is considered to be the defense mechanism against the diseases. It acts in the body mainly in two ways i.e. to prevent the manifestation of new disease and other is to stop the progression of already manifested disease. Vyadhikshamatva in the body is attributed to Ojasa, Bala and Prakrita kapha. Acharya Charaka has defined Ojasa as the essence of all the dhatu and is of two types i.e. para oja which resides in hridaya, the depletion of which can cause death and other is apara oja that is present in the whole body. Acharya Sushruta has described three pathological states of ojasa i.e. ojavisransa, ojavyapata and ojakshaya which manifest various disorders in the body. Acaharya Charaka has described prakrita kapha as bala which is responsible for healthy state of body and vaikrita kapha as mala which is responsible for diseased state of the body. So ojasa, Bala and prakrita kapha which are responsible for maintaining the health and resistance against diseases can be correlated with the immune system of the body. Ayurveda Acharya have promoted the use of Rasayana (Rejuvenation therapy) and ojasa promoting herbs to enhance ojasa and vyadhikshamatva (immunity) in the body which can be helpful in the management of immunodeficiency disorders.
