Did anyone know that your gut contains 70% of your immunity system? Want to know? Exploring the essentials to feeling your best and avoiding sickness, we’re delving deeply into the intriguing topic of immunity and happiness.
Let’s investigate how natural acquired immunity, Â is defined medically and ayurvedically, in addition to how minor changes in lifestyle may have a big impact on how well you are feeling.
As the problems that come from diseases keep increasing, so does the general understanding of health and wellness is not essential? Under the aid its innate immune system, the human organism is equipped with an immune system to defend against pathogens. Different parasites, viruses, fungi, and bacteria may harm the body and create a wide range of illness if our immune response is insufficient. The immune system’s ability to discriminate between native and alien tissues is vital.
In biomedical terms, the word ‘immunity’ is defined as physiological protection from infectious diseases. It is broadly classified into two components, Innate and Adaptive Immunity which encounter and clear any diseases threatening to harm the body. Innate immunity, being the first line of defense, is relatively general and less specific and is present in the system even before the onset of any disease. Its function is to attach to and neutralize any non-specific infectious agents and not to target only a specific pathogen.
On the contrary, natural acquired immunity system adaptation is extremely focused and consists of B and T cells that activate only after an antigen in particular has been specifically identified and targeted. The second level for safeguarding is called “adaptive immunity.” Whereas T lymphocytes, additionally referred to as cell-mediated immune system, create a range of cells to combat dangerous infections, the B lymphocytes, often recognized as immune system humoral immunity, are composed of antibody from bodily fluids such blood.
Ayurveda too has a very clear and systemic perspective on immunity that correlates with the objective of modern immunology. These Ayurvedic concepts of immunity are termed Ojas, Bala, Vyadikshamatwa, and Swasthya. The immune system (Bala) is classified as innate or natural immunity (Sahaja), adaptive or seasonal immunity (Ka/aja), and enhanced or passive immunity (Yuktikriya). The action of improving the immune system (Balaaya hitam balsam) occurs through the nourishment of muscle and strength (Mamsa Bala), improving immunity and maintaining balance (Vyadikshamtwa), and increasing cellular fluid (Prakrita kapha). To enhance the immune system, a holistic approach is followed which involves nourishment of the systemic pathways at a generalized level.
Ayurveda has depicted various rules and regimens (Charya), regarding diet and behavior to acclimatize seasonal enforcement easily without altering body homeostasis as mentioned in the AYUSH article.
Balance is essential for the body to be healthy and well which can be achieved with the help of Ayurveda. Some benefits that the Ayurveda practice offers are listed below:
The complexity of the Immune system described by both systems of knowledge seems to have similar objectives, although the big difference lies in their perspectives. According to modern science, the perspective is largely focused on the body, while Ayurveda approaches immunity as a systemic that includes both physiological and mental functions. The classification of Innate, Adaptive, and Acquired immunity is the common ground for exploring collaboration between the two immune system
Immune system disorders (Bala dosha), according to modern science, are classified as Hypersensitivity action, Autoimmunity, and Immunodeficiency, similar to Ayurvedic classification of these disorders as Ojavyapat, Ojavisramya, and Ojaksyaya. Utilizing the pre-existing clinical practices of Ayurveda treatment modalities for immunity in suitably designed bioassays can result in the emergence of new science.Â
Wellness is defined by modern science as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Modern medicine, however, has not yet developed a scientific understanding of wellness as a state of cellular, molecular, systemic, physiological, and mental equilibrium. As complementary and alternative healthcare areas such as Mind-Body medicine emerge, practices such as meditation are used to form a connection of the mind, body, and behavior with the intent to affect physical health and promote health and well-being.Â
The sophisticated Ayurvedic term for wellness is Swasthya which is further described as the state of balance at multiple biological levels, such as balanced physiological functions (sama dosha), proper quality of tissues (sama dhatu), the efficiency of metabolism (sama agni), optimum excretory process (sama malakriya), efficient working of sense organs (Prasanna indriya), cheerful mind (prasanna mana), and peaceful mind (prasanna atma). This equilibrium changes according to the season, age, and habitat change. Ayurveda views the whole system equilibrium, both body and mind, to describe individualized wellness. This is because every individual embodies a unique phenotype for the immune system.
A challenging and promising integration of the holistic framework of Ayurveda knowledge and the molecular framework of modern science will aid in the amalgamation of two knowledge systems to help explore potential new groundbreaking pathways, and scientific concepts, address unanswered questions, and create a new integrative science of immunity.
