Abstract

This study critically explores the Ayurvedic concept of Vyadhikshamatva (immunity) and its significance in disease prevention. While Ayurveda emphasizes disease prevention as its primary objective, the exploration of immunity in the post-independence era has faced neglect, only to regain attention with government initiatives promoting immunization schedules. This research aims to comprehensively understand the relationship between immunity and lifestyle factors as outlined in ancient Ayurvedic texts. Factors such as digestive factors (Agni), diet (Ahara), sleep (Nidra), physical activity (Vyayama), mental stability (Satva), and rejuvenators (Rasayana) are identified as critical contributors to immune function. By synthesizing insights from classical Ayurvedic literature and contemporary scientific findings, this study bridges traditional knowledge with modern understanding. The systematic presentation of immunity-influencing factors contributes to holistic approaches to health and wellness.
