Boosting Immunity with Ayurveda
In today’s fast-paced and stressful world, maintaining a strong immune system is more important than ever. While modern medicine offers many options to support immunity, Ayurveda, the ancient holistic health system of India, provides time-tested approaches using traditional herbs, diet, and lifestyle practices to support the body’s natural defence mechanisms.
At Ayur Healthcare, Parramatta, Sydney, we integrate classical Ayurvedic principles with contemporary understanding to support immunity, vitality, and overall wellbeing in a safe and personalised manner.
Understanding Immunity from an Ayurvedic Perspective
Ayurveda views immunity as a vital foundation of good health. According to Ayurvedic principles, strong immunity depends on:
-
Balanced doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha)
-
Healthy digestion (Agni)
-
Proper tissue nourishment (Dhatus)
-
Adequate vitality and resilience (Ojas)
When these elements are in harmony, the body is better equipped to maintain balance and respond effectively to daily environmental and lifestyle challenges.
Traditional Ayurvedic Herbs That Support Immunity
Ayurveda has long relied on specific herbs to support immune strength and overall resilience. Some commonly used Ayurvedic herbs include:
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Traditionally used to support stress management, energy levels, and overall vitality.
Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum)
Also known as Holy Basil, Tulsi is valued in Ayurveda for its supportive role in respiratory health and general wellbeing.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

Amalaki (Emblica officinalis)
