How can Ayurveda help in boosting immunity, and what are the best Ayurvedic remedies for enhancing the body’s defense system? - #12365

I’ve been looking into Ayurvedic remedies for boosting immunity, as I believe it’s important to maintain a strong defense system, especially during seasonal changes or flu season. I know that Ayurveda focuses on balancing the doshas and improving overall well-being, but I’d love to understand more about which specific herbs and Ayurvedic practices can help in strengthening the immune system. I’ve heard that Ashwagandha, Tulsi, Amla, and Guduchi are among the best herbs for immune support. How do these herbs work to enhance immunity, fight off infections, and boost overall vitality? Should they be used daily as a preventive measure, or are they more effective when taken during times of illness or stress? I also came across Chyawanprash, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation that contains a combination of herbs and spices. How does Chyawanprash contribute to immune health, and what are its additional benefits for digestive health and skin vitality? Additionally, I read that Panchakarma therapies like Nasya (nasal treatment) and Abhyanga (oil massage) can also help in detoxifying the body and improving immune function. How do these therapies help in promoting overall health and immunity, and should they be done regularly or only during specific seasons? Lastly, are there any dietary recommendations or lifestyle habits in Ayurveda that can help improve immunity naturally? Should we consume more warming foods, spices, and foods rich in antioxidants, like berries and leafy greens, to support immune health? If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies to boost immunity, I’d love to hear your experience. What worked best for you, and how quickly did you notice improvements in your overall health and vitality? Looking forward to your insights!
