The essential point of Ayurveda is to prevent illnesses. This counteraction of infections is
accomplished by the appropriate keeping up with of the body resistance. Till date for
COVID-19, no medication or treatment has exhibited promising outcomes in either
forestalling the infection or working on its forecast. The most ideal way of forestalling
COVID-19 disease is by improving a one’s body resistance or Ojas. Ojas is a living
protoplasmic substance that is the premise of the actual immunity of each cell and safeguards
the respectability of the person. It is framed from the last (conceptive) tissue of the
Shukra/Arthava and contains quintessence of all the seven Dhatus (substantial tissues). It
goes through the heart, circles around the body and keeps up with the regular opposition,
everything being equal.
As per Ayurveda Ojas is one the most essential things for maintaining a healthy body. It is
your splendour, your inner light, your luster, vitality, energy and bodily strength. This vital
sap is necessary for a complete and full life. Without it, immune systems weaken, spirits sink
and basic abilities falter in the face of adversity. A person with good Ojas is serene, healthy, creative, energetic, and youthful in appearance. These are the people we come across in our
day to day lives that simply shine a light on our routine. A person who is deficient is timid,
weak, and anxious, lacks vitality, has a poor complexion, gets sick easily and has a general
deficient appearance.
Day today factors like stress, overworking, exhaustion, physical trauma, emotional trauma,
poor sleep habits, selfishness, nervousness, anger, excessive orgasms, chronic diseases such
as diabetes, asthma, arthritis, and cancer, chronic pain, indigestion , excessive travel and
aging can withdraw ojas from your body.
Ayurveda is a system of lifestyle medicine that works improving one's vitality or modulating
immunity and can, therefore, be used as a preventive approach. Several measures can be used
to improve immunity against infections. This may be useful in this current scenario where we
are facing a COVID-19 pandemic.
