India’s Fight Against COVID-19 and Why Immunity Matters
India faced a big challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a high number of cases and many lives lost. This showed us the importance of a strong immune system to fight infections and Ayurvedic immunity boosting methods which became a powerful tool for protection against infections and staying overall healthy.
In this blog, we will talk about Ayurvedic immunity boosting methods and simple COVID-19 prevention Ayurveda tips like Panchakarma which can help you stay strong and protected.
What is Ayurvedic Immunity Boosting?
Ayurveda helps in balancing the body’s energies called doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). It focuses on keeping your digestion strong (called Agni) and building your body’s natural defense (called Ojas).
Simple Ayurvedic Foods for Immunity
- Eat warm, fresh meals with spices like turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. These help your digestion and remove toxins.
- Use herbs like Tulsi (Holy Basil) for healthy lungs and Ashwagandha to reduce stress and boost immunity.
- Avoid cold, heavy, and processed foods that can cause congestion and weakness.
- Drinking herbal teas or Kwaths made with these herbs every day is a good way to boost immunity naturally.

- Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Massaging your body with warm herbal oils improves blood flow and reduces stress, helping your immunity.
