How Ayurveda Works-- Immunity depends on the physical and mental wellbeing. While Mental wellbeing depends on how de stressed and relaxed we are, physical wellbeing is based more on good and intact digestion. The digestive fire responsible for digesting food is Agni which should be balanced for a good absorption. The food we eat is digested in 7 stages in the body called as 7 dhatus. When the 7 dhatus ( breaking of food, blood tissue, muscle tissue, fatty tissues, bones, bonemarrow, shukra) are nourished properly , OJAS is created in the body, This OJAS is the key to strong immunity. This implies all 7 channels are to be kept clean and strong to develop a strong immunity.
