Ashwagandha – The Adaptogenic Powerhouse
A powerful adaptogen, called Ashwagandha (Indian Ginseng), has been used in Ayurveda for some time. When the body can handle stress thanks to ashwagandha, the immune system is better protected since stress damages it over time.
How it works
Ashwagandha regulates the amount of cortisol, reduces inflammation, and activates infection-fighting cells to increase in number. It also promotes sleep, which is vital to savoring a healthy immune system.
How to use:
You may consume Ashwagandha in powder or capsule form. Consume ½ teaspoon Ashwagandha powder with warm milk at bedtime or as advised by a health practitioner.

Turmeric (Haldi) – The Golden Healer
Traditional Ayurveda praises the benefits of turmeric as well. Turmeric’s prime component, curcumin, is celebrated for being anti-inflammatory and having strong antioxidant effects.
Curcumin helps the immune system work better to resist viruses and bacteria. Taking curcumin helps cleanse the body and protect the liver and these things are important for immunity.
Usage
Drinking “Golden Milk” (turmeric milk) at night is a healthy and common tradition. Turmeric is supplemented as an add-on to regular diet or as a supplement with black pepper for better absorption.
-
Giloy (Guduchi) – Ayurvedic Amrita
Giloy or “Amrita” in Ayurveda or “immortality root” in English is an excellent immunity booster. Ayurvedic practitioners use it along with Giloy stems to detoxify the body and fight infection.
Instructions on usage:
– Giloy boosts macrophage (cells that kill poisonous invaders) activity, purifies the blood, and fights lung infections and fever.
– It is particularly helpful during season changes when immunity is low.
Usage:
Giloy juice or decoction has to be consumed daily on an empty stomach. You can also consume it in the form of capsules. For individual dose, please consult an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Nasya Therapy – Nasal Detoxification
The treatment involves putting a few drops of herbal oil into your nose. Since it cleans and protects your lungs and nose, you breathe better and remain healthier.
How it works
Nasya oil conditions the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, cleans the head and neck region from toxins, and makes the nasal mucosa strong, the first line of defense against air-borne diseases.
Usage:
Two or three drops of warm Shadbindu oil or Anu Tailam are applied gently into each nostril every day in the morning. This must be done under the guidance of an experienced Ayurvedic therapist.
