IMPORTANCE OF RASAYANA IN IMMUNE DEFICIENCY DISORDERS

Biju E. R

Abstract :

Immunodeficiency is a condition in which body’s immune system loses the ability to effectively fight against infectious diseases.It can be caused by lack of one or more components of immune system and can be due to inherited, acquired or drug induced causes.Most of immune disorders are acquired (secondary). In Ayurveda,the concept of Immunity is somewhat nearer to vyadhikshamatva which implies a resistance against the loss of integrity,proportion and interrelationship of dosha and dhatus.Rasayana is a treatment in which the body constituents are prepared to adapt to selective tissue nourishment program.Rasayana increases the essence of each dhatu starting from rasa and enriches ojas.Thus there is tissue regeneration leading to vyadhikshamatva.Rasayana drug act as immunomodulators and thereby balancing immune system.certain daily food items and various drugs like shilajatu,centalla asciatica (mandukaparni),Tinospora cordifolia (Gudoochi),Embilica officianalis(amalaki)etc interact with the functioning of immune system and thereby mitigate immune related disorders.Thus rasayana helps to promote the health of immune deficiency individuals.
