What Is Poliovirus and How Can Ayurveda Help in Supporting Immunity Against Viral Infections? - #16163

Anonymously

I recently came across a news article about poliovirus and the ongoing efforts to eradicate it globally. While I understand that poliovirus primarily affects children, I am curious to know more about its symptoms, how it spreads, and whether Ayurveda offers any natural ways to prevent viral infections like poliovirus by boosting the immune system. From what I understand, poliovirus is a highly contagious virus that can cause paralysis and, in severe cases, death. The virus spreads through contaminated food, water, or direct contact. But what I do not fully understand is why some people contract the virus while others do not. Does it depend on immune strength, or are certain individuals more susceptible due to underlying health conditions or lifestyle factors? I have read that Ayurveda emphasizes immunity (Ojas) and internal health as the key to preventing infections. Are there Ayurvedic herbs like Amla, Tulsi, or Guduchi that help in boosting immunity and providing protection against viral infections like poliovirus? Also, does Ayurveda recommend specific detox practices, such as Panchakarma, to strengthen the immune system and prevent exposure to viruses? Another thing I am wondering about is whether diet plays a role in supporting immunity against viral infections. Should I be consuming foods rich in antioxidants, such as berries, nuts, and greens, to strengthen my immune defenses? Also, does Ayurveda suggest any lifestyle practices that help in maintaining a strong immune system, such as regular exercise, proper sleep, and managing stress? If anyone has experience using Ayurveda to support immunity against viral infections, I would love to hear your insights. I want to focus on building a resilient immune system naturally.

Poliovirus is a highly contagious virus that primarily affects young children, potentially causing paralysis and even death in severe cases. It spreads through contaminated food, water, or direct contact with an infected person. While some individuals may contract the virus more easily, immunity plays a key role in susceptibility, and people with strong immune systems or those who have been vaccinated are less likely to develop severe illness. Ayurveda emphasizes boosting immunity (Ojas) to prevent infections, and herbs like Amla, Tulsi, and Guduchi are known for their immune-enhancing properties. These herbs help strengthen the body’s natural defenses and can offer protection against viral infections, including poliovirus. Ayurveda also recommends detox practices like Panchakarma to cleanse the body and enhance immunity, as well as a diet rich in antioxidants such as berries, nuts, and leafy greens. Additionally, lifestyle practices like regular exercise, proper sleep, and stress management are essential for maintaining a robust immune system. Building a strong, resilient immune system naturally through these Ayurvedic practices can help reduce vulnerability to viral infections.
