Abstract
In Ayurveda, the superior vital essence of all bodily tissues is called Ojas. Overall it is responsible for the
defence of human body against diseases and infirmity. In conditions like diabetes mellitus, immunodeficiency
disorders and malnutrition, where loss of ojas or bala is a constant feature, people are known to be susceptible
to various other diseases or recurrent infections. According to the concept of Ojas or Vyadhikshamatva or
Bala (immunity), the bodys resistance is of tremendous importance in the daily welfare of living beings not
only for disease prevention but also for rapid recovery after disease affliction. Ayurveda propounds that
prevention is an equally important aspect of disease management as cure and thus, strengthening the immune
system, is a natural way to help the body fight against the disease causing pathogens. Acharyas promoted the
use of Rasayana (Rejuvenation) to enhance ojas and vyadhikshamatva (immunity). Rasayanas are health
promoting and rejuvenating agents which by their empirical effects produce resistance against disease both
physically and mentally. Ojas is responsible for good health, better immunity, longevity, intelligence and
thought process. For this purpose, use of different types of ojas promoting herbs have been described in
ayurveda which can be immensely helpful in the management of immunodeficiency disorders.
Keywords: Vyadhikshamatva; Sahaja bala; Kalaja bala; Yuktikrita bala; Ojas; Immunity.

Ayurveda is the maintenance of equilibrium
state of dhatus (Charaka Samhita Sutrasthana
1/53, p.28)[1]. Acharya Charaka describes
various hitkara (useful) and ahitkera (harmful)
dravyas as in Sutrasthana as Matrashitiya,
Tasyashitiya, Yazyapurshiya, Annapaniya
chapters etc. According to Acharya Charaka,
the following persons are free from disease
those who consume favourable (suitable) diet,

regularly, are fair in judgement, speak the
truth always, gifted with forgiving nature and
the one who is faithful to learned people
(Charaka Samhita Sharirsthana 2/46, p.850).[1]
Here an attempt has been made to compile
about the concept of Vyadhishamatva
(immunity), important formulations mentioned
for Vyadhiksamatva and recent research

for its immunomodulatory activity etc.

parents genetic makeup is healthy,
similar health status is acquired by the
children. On the other hand if the genetic

certain diseases, those diseases may be

Substances, which have opposite qualities to
those of bodily tissues (or deha-dhatupratyanik bhutani), (when gain entry into the
body) encounter the opposition by the
dehadhatu (bodily tissues) (Charaka Samhita
Sutrasthana 26/81, p.517).[1] It points that
immune system of person attacks any antigen,
which has gained entry into the body. Acharya
Charaka clearly enumerated people who are
prone to various types of infections or
recurrent diseases as:
a) Over obese individual (atisthul),
b) Over emaciated person (atikrish),
c) Whose muscles and blood are
diminished
markedly
(anavasthitmashasonitaasthni),
d) Debilitated person (durbala),
e) One who consume unwholesome food
(asatmya-aharasevi),
f) One who consume less amount of
food, and
g) Whose mental faculties are weaker
(alpastva)
(Charaka
Samhita
[1]
Sutrasthana 28/6, p.571).
In Ayurvedic texts, various acharays described
countless useful dravya, formulations (yogas),
mode of conducts for adults to enhance
immunity (bala or vyadhikshmatva), similarly
for healthy ksheerapa (infantile period),
ksheerannada (1-2years age period) and
annada-awastha (age period from 2-16 years).
Acharya Sushruta, Vagbhata, Kasyapa
describe a special formulation by the name of
Lehana, for this purpose which enhances
immunity and thus minimises infection
episodes. The facts stated about lehana are as
under -

balyaawastha (or during childhood period).

Lehana karmas purposes: 1.To enhances
growth & development by providing sufficient
nutrition. 2. Promote health, complexion and
strength (immunity). 3. Protect from various
infections along with improving intellect and
speech (delayed milestone).
1. Indication of lehana - children receiving
inadequate amount of breast milk due to
pregnancy of mother, children having
increased demand of food, children
passing less amount of urine and stool,

stool, suffering from various disorders like

Various compound formulations mentioned by
acharyas:

1. Acharya Charaka - Panchgavya ghrita

(ghrita means clarified butter made from

Methods to Boost up Vyadhiksamatva: In
Ayurveda texts, various codes of conducts are
described for each persons of any age (from
conception to old age) to follow in different
seasons, during healthy and diseased
conditions in terms of dietetic (ahara) and
mode of life (vihar).These are:

by fulfilling necessary deficiencies in

deficient dhatus. Proper utilization of sense
organs with their objects, normal actions
and normal seasons are beneficial in the
maintenance of good health), JeevaniyaBrihighana-Balya-PrazasthapanaVayasthapna Mahakashaya as in Charaka
(Charaka
Samhita

4,
p.71,72,77,97,98 respectively).[1]
10. Rasayana therapy - It promotes and
rejuvenate the physiology of body,
produce resistance against disease both
physically and mentally.
Rasayana is made up of two words: rasa and
ayana. Rasa primarily means essential seven
vital tissues (saptdhatu e.g. rasa, rakta, mansa,
meda, asthi, majja and shukra). Ayana means
the path or channel. So, rasayanas are those
that bring about proper uptake, growth and
improvement of essential saptadhatus (seven
vital tissues).
1. According to acharya Charaka, use of
rasayanas results in disease-free long life
(dirghamaayu), smiriti (recapitulating
power), medha, aarogyam (healthy well
being), tarun vaya (youthfulness), prabha,
varna (complexion), voice, strength etc.
(Charaka Samhita Chikitisasthana 1/1/7-8,
p.5).[1]
2. According to Acharya Sarangdhara,
various drugs, diet and regimens which
promote longetivity by delaying aging
(jaranashanam) and preventing diseases
(vyadhinashnum) are called Rasayana e.g.
amrita, guggul, haritaki etc (Sarangdhara
Poorvakhanda 4/13, p.48).[6]
3. Rasayana is that treatment which
influencing the dhatus, agni and srotansi
and ojus (e.g. fundamental aspect of body)
etc.
4. Rasayana chikitsa boosts the ojas (immune
system). Rasayana is the one that is
concerned with the immunity enhancer.

environmental factors and aging. Rasayana is

a treatment in which the body constituents are
prepared to adapt to a selective tissue
endowment program. This concept in modern
scientific understanding would mean the
enhancement of immune responsiveness of an
organism against pathogens by nonspecifically activating the immune system
with immunomodulatory agents of plant
origin. It is now recognized that
immunomodulation
could
provide
an
alternative or complement to conventional
chemotherapy for a variety of diseased
conditions; this is especially the case when
host defence mechanisms have to be activated
under the conditions of impaired immune
responsiveness. Rasayana drugs are believed
to slow down the aging process (jara) and
provide a defense against diseases (vyadhi).
Rasayanas improve the host resistance of an
individual, helping to prevent aging and
diseases. Rasayana Chikitsa or rejuvenation
therapy helps to promote and preserve health
and longevity in the healthy, and to cure
disease in sick.

and thereby from all diseases that are

B) As per scope of use by Sushruta (Sushruta

2. Medhaayuskamiya (rasyana which

3. Svabhavavaydhipratisedhaniya (means

4. Nivrittasantapiya

Rasayana chikitsa means rejuvenation therapy.

Taking rasayana is helpful to increase the
immunity of the person to keep him away
from opportunistic diseases. The possible
mechanisms by which action of Rasayana can
be interpreted with modern aspects are as
follows:

immunomodulatory action, antioxidant action,
