Doctors’ responses
Yes, absolutely. Ojas is the essence of all the dhatus (tissues) and is not fixed; it can be depleted by stress, irregular food/sleep, overexertion, excess sexual activity, chronic illness, or negative emotions. But it can also be restored with the right ahara (diet), vihara (lifestyle), manas (mental state), and aushadhi (herbs/rasayanas). At 38, your dhatu-agni (tissue metabolism) is still strong enough to rebuild ojas if nourished properly.
Some ojas-building practices:
Diet: warm, unctuous, fresh, sattvic food (milk, ghee, soaked almonds, dates, mung dal, fresh fruits, seasonal vegetables).
Herbs/Rasayana: Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Yashtimadhu, Guduchi, Chyawanprash.
Lifestyle: Regular sleep, prana-rich breathing, meditation, calm mind, positive emotions.
NO NEED TO WORRY ROSHAN JI,
Need personal consultation.

Yes, Ojas can be replenished at any age provided you protect Agni (digestive fire) and nourish body–mind properly. • Ojas is not a “fixed stock”; it is the refined essence of dhatus (tissues) formed daily when digestion and metabolism are balanced. • By 38, with stress, irregular lifestyle, chronic illness, or disturbed Vata–Pitta, Ojas may reduce which leads to hot flashes, chest heaviness, anxiety, fatigue, disturbed sleep. • So rejuvenation (Rasayana Chikitsa) is very relevant for you.
Daily Rasayana :- • Chyawanprash - 1 tsp daily morning • Ashwagandha powder 1 tsp with warm milk • Shatavari kalpa - 1 tsp at night • Brahmi Vati - 1 tab twice daily
Foods to Favor • Almonds (soaked, peeled), dates, raisins, ghee, rice, moong dal khichdi. • Sweet, cooling fruits (pomegranate, grapes). • Avoid too much chilli, sour, fried, coffee.
Lifestyle • Abhyanga (warm sesame + a little Brahmi oil) on chest and body. • Meditation • Yoga asanas: Bhujangasana, Setubandhasana, Anulom–Vilom pranayama. • Sleep before 11 PM
• If chest heaviness worsens with exertion or feels like pressure - rule out cardiac cause. • If hot flashes are frequent with irregular cycles - check thyroid, hormones, perimenopause status.

Hello Roshan
Your awareness about Ojas and Vayu balance is wonderful . Ayurveda clearly says – Ojas can be replenished at any age, provided proper diet, lifestyle, and mind balance are followed.
There are Actually 2 types of Ojas 1 Para Ojas Quantity- only 8 drops (अष्ट बिन्दु) in the heart. Location- Hridaya (heart). It maintains life force, mental stability, immunity, and vitality.
2. Apara Ojas Quantity about half Anjali pramana (~10–15 ml). Location circulates throughout the body via Rasa dhatu. it provides strength, stamina, glow, fertility, immunity, and protects against disease.
👉This is the part we can increase, nourish, and replenish through food, herbs, rasayanas, and lifestyle.
✅IN EASY TERMS
☑️Para Ojas = fixed, very subtle essence of life (cannot be increased, only preserved).
☑️Apara Ojas = the part that can be nourished with right ahara (food), vihara (lifestyle), and aushadhi (herbs).
👉When Ojas is low, one may feel fatigue, anxiety, poor immunity, and lack of stability.
✅AYURVEDIC TREATMEMT FOR NOURISHING OJAS
1. DIET ENHANCING OJAS-
👉Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or ashwagandha powder. 👉Dates, soaked almonds, ghee, saffron, moong dal khichdi, fresh seasonal fruits. 👉Avoid excessive fasting, very spicy, dry, or packaged food.
2. Herbal support
1 Chyawanprash 1 tsp morning empty stomach followed by warm. Water (classic Rasayana for building Ojas.) 2 Ashwagandharistha 30ml-0-30 ml after food
✅ Lifestyle & Mind:
👉Pranayama: Anulom Vilom, Bhramari, and gentle deep breathing – balance all Vayus. 👉Meditation & chanting – especially Om and meditation to calm chest heaviness. 👉Sleep is the best restorer of Ojas. Ensure early bedtime.
Roshan ji, please be assured – Ojas is never lost completely. It can always be replenished with right food, herbs, and lifestyle.
Wish you a good health😊

🌿Ojas is the essence of all bodily tissues. Include ghee, soaked almonds, warm milk with brahmi in your diet. If you are a non-vegetarian, then add bone broth to your monthly planner. Do daily abhyanga with medicated oil, it will help in immunity and vayu regulation.
1. Chyavanaprasha 1 tsp daily at evening with milk.
Replenishing ojas is possible at age 38, as the process is not strictly limited by age. However, it may require a more dedicated and consistent approach than it would for a younger person. The heaviness and heat you feel in your chest could be a sign of disturbed vaata or an imbalance in your vaayus, but it’s not a definitive sign of ojas depletion. It’s more likely related to the movement of apana vaayu, which is responsible for downward flow, moving upwards.
Understanding Ojas and Vaayu
Ojas is considered the essence of vitality and immunity in Ayurveda. It’s the byproduct of complete digestion and proper assimilation of all seven dhatus (tissues). While the body naturally produces ojas, lifestyle factors like stress, poor diet, and lack of rest can lead to its depletion.
Vaayu (air) is one of the three doshas (fundamental energies) in Ayurveda and is responsible for all movement in the body. It’s divided into five sub-types, known as the five vaayus:
Prana Vaayu: Governs the intake of food, air, and sensory experiences; located in the head, chest, and heart.
Udana Vaayu: Controls speech, effort, and upward movements; located in the throat and chest.
Vyana Vaayu: Governs circulation and all-pervading movements; located throughout the entire body.
Samana Vaayu: Controls digestion and assimilation; located in the stomach and small intestine.
Apana Vaayu: Responsible for downward movements, such as excretion and urination; located in the pelvic region.
The heaviness and heat you describe in your chest could indicate an upward movement of apana vaayu, which is meant to move downwards. This reversal of flow can cause various symptoms, including chest discomfort and feeling hot. It could also indicate an imbalance of prana vaayu, which is seated in the chest.
Steps to Replenish Ojas and Balance Vaayus
1. Dietary Adjustments 🍎
To replenish ojas, you should focus on a diet of nourishing, easily digestible foods.
Include: Ghee, milk, dates, almonds, avocados, and root vegetables.
Avoid: Processed foods, cold and raw foods, and anything that is difficult to digest.
Hydrate: Drink warm water with a squeeze of lemon or ginger.
2. Lifestyle Changes 🛌
Prioritize Sleep: Ensure you get at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Sleep is crucial for the body’s repair and regeneration, which includes ojas production.
Stress Management: Incorporate stress-reducing practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises (pranayama), and gentle yoga.
3. Herbal Support 🌿
Certain Ayurvedic herbs are known to help with ojas replenishment and vaayu balancing.
Ashwagandha: Known as a powerful rejuvenative herb, it helps with stress reduction and can support ojas production.
Shatavari: Considered a nourishing herb, especially for women, it helps to build ojas.
Triphala: A mix of three fruits, this herb can help with overall digestion and detoxification, which indirectly supports ojas production and balances vaayu.
4. Bodywork and Therapy 💆
Treatment 1 chyawanprash -1tsf with warm milk at bed time
2 adhwagandha churna -3gm after food with water 2 times a day
3) shatavari churna -3 gm after food with water 2 times a day
Yea absolutely, Ojas will be producing continuously as the end product of perfect digestion and dhatu nourishment, As long as Agni is healthy tissues are well nourished Your chest heaviness is due to vata and pitta disturbance Practice pranayama yoga meditation Early sleep Avoid late night food
