Abstract

Ayurveda is the science of life and its main aim is to maintain healthy status of healthy living being, i.e., prevention of disease and treatment of disease. To fulfill these purposes, Ayurveda has mentioned various fundamental principle in reference of Sharir Rachna, Sharir kriya, Chikitsa, etc. Concept of oja and vyadhikshamatva explained in Ayurvedic texts is one among them. Though located in hrdaya, ojas pervades all over the body and controls the working of body. By its loss or destruction, the destruction of body (life) is sure to happen and by its presence, the body is sure to survive and different state (condition, activity, etc) concerned with the body are brought properly. The main function of Ojas is vyadhikshamatva. Capacity or power of body to fight against disease and to resist against production of disease is known as vyadhikshamatva. Immunity is defined as the capacity of the body to resist the pathogenic agents. So the concept of ojas and vyadhikshamatva are similar as that of immunity of modern science. Understanding the concept of ojas and vyadhikshamatva will be helpful in fulfilling both the aims of Ayurvedic science, i.e., in contribution of implementation of positive health and in seeking solution of immunological disorder through Ayurveda.
