Immunity is our body’s natural defense system, protecting us from illness and maintaining overall health. Ayurveda teaches that strong immunity is built through balanced digestion, nourishing foods, and mindful living. At Ayurgem Ayurveda Retreat in Munnar, we combine diet, lifestyle, and therapies to help guests from India and Europe build lasting wellness.

The Role of Ayurveda in Immunity
In Ayurveda, immunity is referred to as Ojas, the vital energy that supports strength, vitality, and resistance to disease. To increase Ojas, the body must have good digestion (Agni) and proper elimination of toxins.

Top Ayurvedic Foods for Immunity
• Turmeric: Rich in curcumin, supports anti-inflammatory response.
• Ginger: Improves digestion and circulation.
• Garlic: Natural antibacterial and antiviral.
• Amla (Indian Gooseberry): High in Vitamin C, rejuvenates tissues.
• Tulsi (Holy Basil): Strengthens respiratory health.
• Ghee: Nourishes tissues and boosts digestion.

Dietary Principles for Strong Immunity
• Eat freshly cooked, warm, and light meals.
• Avoid processed and overly cold foods.
• Follow a seasonal diet, choosing local produce.
• Drink herbal teas (ginger, tulsi, cinnamon).
• Include sattvic foods (pure, fresh, plant-based).

Lifestyle Tips for Immunity
• Daily Yoga & Meditation: Reduces stress, balances hormones.
• Adequate Sleep: 7–8 hours for body repair and immune strength.
• Oil Pulling & Nasya: Cleansing routines for oral and respiratory health.
• Regular Detox (Panchakarma): Removes toxins that weaken immunity.
