In Ayurveda, vitamin D deficiency is not addressed as a distinct disorder but is instead viewed as a symptom of a deeper imbalance, primarily related to the depletion of Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue) and weak Agni (digestive fire). The Ayurvedic perspective focuses on improving nutrient absorption and overall vitality rather than solely on supplementing the vitamin itself.
Remedies and Lifestyle Adjustments
Sun Exposure Ayurveda has long recognized the importance of sunlight. It’s recommended to get 15–20 minutes of sun exposure daily, preferably in the early morning. This practice, often combined with Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations), is believed to enhance the body’s natural ability to produce vitamin D.
Diet A balanced diet that strengthens Agni and nourishes the bone tissue is key.
Foods rich in Vitamin D: Incorporate foods that are naturally high in vitamin D, such as milk, ghee (clarified butter), mushrooms, and fatty fish (for non-vegetarians).
Foods that support absorption: Since vitamin D is fat-soluble, consuming healthy fats like ghee and sesame oil can improve absorption
Lifestyle Practices In addition to diet and sun exposure, certain practices can help.
Yoga and Pranayama: Specific yoga poses (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayama) can improve circulation and overall vitality, which in turn supports the body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
Oil massage (Abhyanga): Massaging the body with warm sesame oil can help to lubricate joints and improve circulation.
Triphala: This traditional herbal blend is often used to cleanse the digestive system and improve nutrient absorption.
