BOOST YOUR IMMUNITY WITH AYURVEDA

Entire mankind across the globe is suffering of the Covid 19 outbreak. 

Enhancing the body’s natural defence system (immunity) plays an important role in maintaining optimum health.

It will be good to take preventive measures which boost our immunity in these times.

So, here we are, facing an unprecedented health crisis. One that demands we be vigilant in washing our hands frequently and keeping a safe distance from others. But how else can we protect ourselves against viruses and disease?

One way is to enhance your own immune system through diet and exercise.

See, when it comes to Ayurvedic practice, all disease begins in the gut. Maintaining good digestive health is key to helping build a strong, natural resistance to illnesses. And we do that by paying attention to how we nourish our tissues.

In Ayurveda there are seven layers of tissue:

Rasa (lymph)

Rakta (blood) 

Mamsa (muscle) 

Meda (fat) 

Asthi (bone) 

Majja (nervous system)

Shukra/Artava (reproductive) 

This is the order in which Agni, the digestive fire that breaks down food and nourishes your body through absorption and assimilation, ultimately feeding the tissues. It takes 35 days from the time you consume something for it to make it through all seven layers tissues.

Immunity then travels through the bloodstream to the entire body, giving you the resistance you need to ward off sickness. In other words, healthy Ojas, the juice of life, your resilience and vitality. 

Techniques for Increasing Immunity:

Build Agni – Eat easy to digest foods, like smoothies! Consider warm, light foods. 

Eat Ojas-Building Foods – Healthy oils, fruits and veggies, nuts.

Exercise – Move your body and sweat every day at Home.

Breathwork – Take time to focus on your breathing. Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) is effective for calming stress and balancing the body.

Herbal Support – There are many herbs that help boost immunity, most you can find in your kitchen cabinet; ginger, turmeric, fennel, rosemary, honey, cinnamon, garlic, cardamom, and black pepper.

Get Adequate Sleep – Six to eight hours is recommended. This is an important time for the body to heal and reset. We can’t stress enough how valuable sleep is to not only your body but your overall constitution.

Stay Hydrated – Sip warm water throughout the day.

DINCHARYA

When you get up in the morning, what dictates your every move?. But generally speaking, taking control of your health begins with prioritizing your daily routine around habits and practices that best elevate your physical, mental, and spiritual state of being.

Dinacharya translates to the “law of nature,” which consists of positive daily structure. Routine brings order and balance to your life, helping reduce stress and giving you a solid foundation to take on everyday challenges with success and confidence. Your morning routine sets the rest of your day’s routine in motion. Here are some basics to consider:

Wake Up Early

Plant Your Feet Firmly On the Ground to Connect with the Earth

Meditate/Focused Breathing

Movement/Exercise

Eat Well

As you carry on through your day, look inward to your biological clock. Your internal timing device that dictates your circadian rhythms, the physical, mental, and behavioral changes experienced in a daily cycle. 

Understanding the nuances of your own biological clock can help you build a routine that leverages those daily changes to your advantage. Your dosha also plays a key role in identifying timeframes where you should be active or at rest.

Vata

Transitional times where you should be active:

2 a.m. - 6 a.m.

2 p.m. - 6 p.m.

Kapha

Transitional times where you should be active:

6 a.m. - 10 a.m.

6 p.m. - 10 p.m.

Pitta

Transitional times where you should be active:

10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

10 p.m. - 2 a.m.

One of the main goals of Ayurvedic medicine is to keep the doshas balanced. Ayurveda believe that disease develops when a person’s dosha is out of balance. The primary dosha or combination of doshas is balanced through a healthy lifestyle including a nourishing diet, plenty of exercise, a strong daily rhythmn of activities and medicinal herbs when necessary.

Each dosha has both positive and negative properties. Ayurveda uses these properties to maintain a balance within the body. An individual is defined by his predominant dosha – accordingly, an individual may be of vata, pitta, or kapha temperament. Just like our individuality, our ayurvedic temperament is a result of years of habit, lifestyle, and diet that create a unique pattern of doshas and build our constitution

Your clock’s running, go enjoy. And make the most of your time.

Nadi Shodhana Pranayama

Nadi Shodhanana, also known as Alternate Nostril Breathing, is a powerful breathing practice with wide reaching benefits. Nadi is a Sanskrit word meaning “channel” or “flow” and shodhana means “purification.” Therefore, nadi shodhana is primarily aimed at clearing and purifying the subtle channels of the mind-body organism, while balancing its masculine and feminine aspects. It is pacifying for all three doshas and is a suitable practice for most anyone.
