Abstract
Ayurveda is the science of life, and its primary goal is to preserve a healthy state of living, which includes ill-ness prevention and treatment. Ojas is the essence of the seven dhatus or the equivalent of Bala or Sleshma. Ojas is vigour. Ojas is placed in hrdaya and penetrates the whole body, controlling its functioning. By its loss or destruction, the destruction of the body (life) is sure to happen and by its presence, the body is sure to survive. The main function of Ojas is vyadhikshamatva. Bala is the individual's physical and mental strength. Bala is one which prevents the roga, one which is Adhistana of Arogya and treatment is given for protecting it. In Ayurveda, Vyadhikshamatva is also known as Bala. Vyadhikshamatva is the ability or capability of the body to combat sickness and resist disease creation. Manasika Bala might be evaluated as well. This Bala is also linked to Vyadhikshamatva, the body's immunological reaction and vigour. Immunity is defined as the capacity of the body to resist pathogenic agents. So, the concepts of ojas and vyadhikshamatva are similar to modern science immunity.
