Ojas refers to the strength and vitality present in a human body to counteract infections, stress, fatigue, and other external attacks made on the immunity of the body. Ojas is directly related to the ability to digest and nourish the body effectively and conduct normal day-to-day activities without having to succumb to outside attacks such as flu, dysentery, or other such infections.
Ojas Ayurveda is a separate discipline formed within Ayurveda to attain immunity, vitality, and overall health with the use of some of the best herbs in Ayurveda.
These herbs are handpicked to create what is referred to as Ojas capsules which help us in boosting immunity, maintaining good digestion and energy, eliminating stressors and toxins from the body, and boating the overall metabolism in the body.
Boosting Immunity with Ojas and Ayurveda
Every once in a while, we all tend to get sick and develop either a cold, flu, or stomach infection. It has become so common amongst us that it is taken for granted to fall sick every now and then.
In Ayurveda, Ojas is a concept that has been studied in great detail and is practiced by many ayurvedic gurus and it claims to help boost immunity in such a way that falling sick would be a rare occurrence in one?s lifetime.
Ayurveda claims that the benefits of consuming certain herbs over a period of time, along with a healthy Ojas-driven diet and exercise can give us great benefits and help us in living a life that is full of energy and vitality.
These herbs may be hard for us to find and consume, and therefore Ojas Ayurveda suggests we consume them in the form of Ojas capsules that are made with the special and unique blend of vital herbs that aid healthy metabolism and stronger immunity.
