Maintaining proper strength of the immune system in the body is a basic requirement for staying healthy. When the immunity is weaker than the causative factors of the disease (parasites, bacteria, virus), an imbalance is caused in the “Tridosha” which causes diseases. To avoid falling sick and to maintain good health, Ayurveda advises a number of simple formulas which are very effective to increase the immunity or ojas. A special branch of Ayurveda known as Rasayana or rejuvenation therapy deals with this aspect of maintaining health.

To become an expert in rejuvenation or rasayana therapy, you might need to join our online courses on Original Ayurveda.
