EDITOR'S DESK The coronavirus pandemic has turned the world’s a�en�on towards the immune system, it has proved to be a wake-up call for people all over the world. Not only has it compelled people to re-assess their health choices, but also mark the need for boos�ng immunity. Another trend that has swept the world is the emergence of kitchen science in boos�ng immunity. With so much focus on immunity, it is no secret that it is going to be the buzzword in the post COVID-19 era. While India con�nues to fight a life-and-death ba�le against coronavirus, businesses are leveraging this opportunity to come out with consumer products that helps in boos�ng immunity.
Immunity is the ability of an organism to resist a par�cular infec�on or toxin by the ac�on of specific an�bodies or sensi�zed white blood cells. In simple language, Immunity means a shield within our body who guards us against various viruses and bacteria. Since theCoVID-19, medico person, doctor, government, even also the non-medico person are talking about the immunity boos�ng system. In this issue, we will completely understand the immunity-boos�ng system from the base. What is Immunity, Why it is necessary, and how to boost the immunity of normal person, children, pregnant ladies, aged persons, and also suggest some yoga and home remedies for the same.
I BELIEVE, INDIAN MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS SHOULD ABANDON THEIR NORMAL PRACTICE OF WAITING FOR WESTERN APPROVAL AND UTILIZE THE AYURVEDA REMEDIES IN A SCIENTIFIC MANNER.
The body’s defense force against disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and other organisms that we touch ingest and inhale every day. The need to build natural immunity has become vital during these �mes. The ancient science of Ayurveda offers a diversity of formula�ons, treat ments, and prac�ces to help build immunity. Consumers are increasingly switching to ayurve dic medicines and products in the hope of boos�ng their immunity. Even though the Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa and Homoeopathy (Ayush) has issued an advisory recommending possible ayurvedic treatments. Allopathic doctors do say that these products are not proven to cure an infec�on of the virus but can, at best, improve immunity which helps a lot to fight any viral or bacterial infec�on. The Ministry of Ayush has issued a protocol based on advice and inputs provided by 16 leading Ayurveda prac��oners in the country and this has helped in bringing standardiza�on in the products offered as immunity boosters. The protocol contained home-based remedies such as herbal teas to some ayurvedic medicines (nowadays, known as an immunity booster). An ini�a�ve was taken up by the AVP in se�ng up Ayur Shield clinics in associa�on with the Confedera�on of Indian Industries and other prominent players such as Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers Organiza�on of India (AMMOI), Ayurvedic Medical Associa�on of India, etc.

Chyawanprash, Indukantham Kashayam, Ayush Kwath, Ashwagandha, Giloy, Tulsi, Chukku Kappi (Dry Ginger Kapi) are some of the most fast-moving products as immunity boosters. Research says, apart from the regular expansion in sales, there is an addi�onal 40-45% increase in the Pharmaceu�cal industry. This is the perfect �me for us to expand our Ancient Knowledge of Ayurveda worldwide. A true businessman takes every opportunity even from the worst situa�on. The Ayush Ministry has, however, made it clear that none of these measures should be consid ered as a complete treatment for Covid-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges for the startup ecosystem in India. The Government of India has joined hands with various stakeholders to offer support to startups. We are trying to combat the pandemic by crea�ng an opportunity for entrepreneurs to promote their ayurvedic products and brand for the global market. I believe, Indian medical professionals should abandon their normal prac�ce of wai�ng for Western approval and u�lize the Ayurvedic remedies in a scien�fic manner. This will give them an opportunity to prove the validity of the claims of Ayurvedic prac��oners. It helps the na�on and accords pres�ge to Indian medical professionals.

IMMUNITY: VYADHIKSHAMATVA IS THE KEY ROLE FOR HEALTHY LIFE In Ayurveda immunity is known as Vyadhikshamatva. The word VYADHIKSHAMATVA is made up of two words; Vyadhi (disease) and Kshamatva (suppress or overcome).According to Ayurveda, Vyadhi is a condi�on which come into existence as consequence of non-equilibrium between Doshas (physiological factors i.e., vata,pi�a & kapha), Dhatus (�ssues systems) and Malas (excretory products of body). These factors in their normal status are responsible in maintaining the physical and psychological health. The other word, "Kshamatva" is derived from, "Kshamus sahane" which means to be pa�ent or composed to suppress anger, to keep quite or to resist. Vyadhiksamatva (immunity) is of tremendous importance in the daily wellness of human beings, for preven�on and recovery from diseases. When e�ological factors come in contact with the body they try to produce disease. At the same �me the body tries to resist the disease. This power of the body, which prevents the development of diseases or resists a developed disease, is called Immunity. Therefore Vyadhikshamatwa means the factor which limits the pathogenesis and opposes the strength of disease.
Natural Immunity Boosters Drinking water in various formats can benefit different aspects of your health. You can start by simply drinking enough water, par�cularly if you feel like you might be ge�ng sick. Water helps to carry oxygen to your body cells, which results in properly func�oning systems. It also works in removing toxins from the body, so drinking more of it could help prevent toxins from building up and having a nega�ve impact on your immune system. There are a lot of foods, fruits, and vegetables that can naturally enhance your immune system. One of the easiest ways to improve your immunity is to have a healthy and wholesome diet. Some of the immunity-boos�ng herbs are garlic, black cumin, and licorice. Add these to your diet for a healthier and happy immune system. Various preven�ve measures have been doing the talks to keep the Coronavirus at bay. The new one being Jal Ne�, which is a yoga procedure to clean the nasal cavity. In Jal Ne�, salted lukewarm water is used to remove the conges�on and blockages of nasal as well as respiratory regions. Jal Ne� helps to keep you free from many diseases and also facilitates smooth breathing process through the nostrils. Water is poured into one of the nostrils and then that water comes out easily from the other nostril. Benefits of Jal Ne� : Relieves Sinusi�s Eye Diseases Psycho-spiritual Health Cough and Cold Drowsiness
Vyadhikshamatva, not only we can keep at bay the physical bodily ailments but also definitely prevent various psychosocial discrepancies. So concluding from above, an oja depleted body is breeding ground of various physical and mental diseases. Hence, for a�aining good Vyadhikshamatva, we should use various regimens. - Anushka Sharma

IMMUNITY AND AGEING: TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN “Ageing can be fun if you lay back and enjoy it.” - Clint Eastwood Age was just a number back then, but this COVID ingression changed the whole equa�on for all those youthful oldies! Staying cap�ve in their homes, elderlies of today’s age are ge�ng to grips with paddling their canoes across these hard �mes. But hey, what if aging can be fun again like the good old days when the pandemic was not a thing? Yes, you read it right! Ayurveda can emerge as a ray of hope for everyone who is trying to switch back to normal. Let's get to the bo�om of this to understand how this can be a possible. Ayurveda Perspective on Old Age -
Factors responsible for premature Ageing -
Ayurvedic concepts define ageing as a long-standing process triggering from the degenera�on of Dhatus (cellular elements of the body), resul�ng in a diminished capacity of the body in carrying out normal physiological func�ons. This deteriora�on in health can occur either as a natural process or can be manifested early as a result of aggrava�on of Doshas (bioenergies exis�ng in the form of Vata, Pi�a, and Kapha) in the body, which leads to premature degenera�on of the Dhatus.
In the current scenario, not only the old olds are ge�ng old, but the young olds are popping up as the new olds in the lieu. Ever thought, what could be the probable factors for this? Let us dig into some common lifestyle mistakes causing you to grow old early! 1. Faulty sleep pa�erns, diet-style, and ea�ng habits along with the dependence on junk and processed food has quadrupled over the past few decades, leading to early aging. 2. Addic�on in any way, not just corrupts your body func�ons but degenerates your body at the cellular levels leading to an eventual system shut-down! 3. Lack of physical ac�vi�es, sedentariness, and over-dependence on others not only makes you lethargic but increases your possibility of laying hands on a package full of old age problems. 4. Today's busy work culture and high stress are taking a toll on the health of every class of society. In such a situa�on, premature aging is the greatest to expect!
12 | The Ancient Ayurveda | Aug-Sept 2020
Ageing is a complex process that involves mul�ple systems of the body. However, the performance and efficacy of each system are governed by the body's innate defense mechanism or The Immune System. And Ayurvedically, Ojas (the essence of all seven Dhatus of the body) is a common nexus, connec�ng the dots between the two. When a person ages, the quality of Dhatus and Ojas also begins to diminish. Scien�fically, it can be understood from the fact that the produc�on of B and T cells (a variety of fighter cells present in the body) reduces with old age, which is to be blamed for an ill-response against infec�ons.
Life hacks to hack your system Ayurveda's claim to fame lies in the fact that out of eight classical super-special�es, Rasayana and Jara Chikitsa (Rejuvena�ve and Geriatric Care) is a specialty specifically dedicated to the Aging! We are enlis�ng small yet powerful life hacks for elderlies to adopt, which can make their life blissful again amidst the COVID �mes.
1. Food is the key to health – Food plays a vital role in the maintenance of health because Dhatus aren't anything but the outcomes of the food we eat. The right food, if eaten at the right �me and in the right manner, can yield astounding effects on the overall existence! So how should one eat the food? • Plan your meals as per your need and eat at the same �me every day. • Don't eat unless you feel hungry, as there is no harm in fas�ng once in a while. • Keep your breakfast fiber-rich by including lots of seasonal fruits, even if you are diabe�c. Because fruits never harm anyone! • Make lunch as your biggest meal of the day with a balanced diet containing mul�-grain chapa�s, pulses, rice, and veggies. • Fill up your stomachs with either Khichdis, Daliyas, Oats, or other easily diges�ble meals at night.
2. Sleeping early and tight – The be�er you sleep, the be�er your body will respond! Try to sleep early at night to be able to wake up early in the morning. Also, there is no harm for elderlies to sleep during the day�me but just make sure that there is a gap of at least two hours between your previous meals and a quick nap.
13 | The Ancient Ayurveda | Aug-Sept 2020
3. Work up your breath – It is necessary to include some Yogic exercises and Pranayam in daily rou�ne. It does not just energize the body but increases our immunity by providing sufficient oxygen necessary for the thriving of each cell living inside us! This season is the right �me to incorporate this 30-minute fitness rou�ne in your morning schedule ● 1 set of Surya Namaskara unless you aren't suffering from aching joints. ● 8-10 minutes of Kapalbha�. ● 8-10 minutes of Nadi Shodhan or Anulom Vilom. ● 5 minutes of Brahmari Pranayama. ● 5 minutes of medita�ng on the sound of Aum.
4. Rasayanas for complete Wellbeing Ayurveda has a complete range of geriatric care in the form of following Rasayanas ● Your food is the utmost Rasayana your body can ever get, so never compromise on healthy ea�ng! ● Single source Rasayanas - They include seasonal fruits, dried fruits (Figs, Raisins, Berries), nuts (Almond, Walnuts, Cashews), and other medicinal herbs like Amla, Giloya, Tulsi, Ashwagandha, ● Shatavari, Mulethi, etc. It is advisable to take one at a �me. Rasayana Formula�ons like Chywanprasha, Brahma Rasayana, Vasa Avleha, Ashwagandharishta, Triphala, Sanshamanadi Va�, etc. are the great op�ons for strengthening the Dhatus and the immune system if taken under the guidance of a Licensed Ayurvedic Prac��oner.

IMMUNITY: FRONTLINE CORONA WARRIOR’S SANJIVANI THE ANCIENT AYURVEDA IS THANKFUL TO ALL FRONTLINE CORONA WARRIORS "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND SUPPORT DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. YOUR HUMILITY, KINDNESS, AND STRENGTH ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR NATION'S GUIDING LIGHT IN THE FACE OF THIS ADVERSITY."
The sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Wuhan (China), in December 2019 had raised the concern of whole world towards the false sense of human achievements over nature. The influenza-like virus never became so dangerous previously. Started from China, within months it spread all over the world and affected almost every country. For preven�on of this disease, the Governments and health agencies all over the globe have focussed on maintaining hygiene, frequent hand wash, and social distancing. There are groups of People called as Corona warriors who are the true warriors in ba�le against corona and works beyond their duty, work hard for the country, for the society and saves lives of other people. Corona warriors: We all heard the literature of Ramayana and the descrip�on of Hanumana and its selfless efforts towards the victory of Shri Rama. He fetched the vaidya for lakshamana treatment and also brought the sanjivani bu� from the Himalaya a�er travelling thousands of kms. Just like hanuman, lord Shri Krishna efforted for the victory of truth. All of these are examples of selfless efforts for others or society. The same efforts were done by the corona warriors beyond their duty for the country as well as for the welfare of the society. They all are the real sankat mochan during the ba�le against Covid-19. First in the list are the health care workers including the doctor, nurses, ward boys, pathologists, technicians,
pharmacists, and sanita�on workers. They all are figh�ng against corona to save the lives of others day in and day out. The second one in the list is Policemen, who came to the frontline for the implementa�on of strict norms of lockdown. The third one is the group of people who are s�ll ignored and no one talk about them during the havoc caused by SARS-COV-2. They are the providers of essen�al services like water, electricity, vegetables, milk, newspaper as well as banking services. Fourth group is the group of people of different organiza�ons and NGOs who came to serve the society as well as feed the migrant labourers during these difficult �mes pu�ng their own life at risk. Raising the immunity of corona warriors is an important area of concern as all these peoples fight for us and protect us from this dangerous virus by making their own life more vulnerable and suscep�ble. So the
16 | The Ancient Ayurveda | Aug-Sept 2020
first step is to enhance the immunity of all corona warriors so that the country can fight against these deadly diseases. In the present pandemic, to improve the immunity of individuals, certain recommenda�ons were made by the Ministry of AYUSH which included dietary measures based on Ayurveda as well as some prophylac�c medicines used in general to improve immunity in Ayurveda, Unani and Homoeopathic systems of medicines. Ancient literature describes many promo�ve and preven�ve principles like Dincharya(daily regimen), Ritucharya(seasonal regimen), Prakri�(personalized approach), Achara Rasayana(good conduct) and Sadvri�a(social conduct), etc. Thousands of years back, all these principles were followed by ancient people and scholars which enhance their vyadhi kashamatva or immunity and they lived a healthy and long life. In spite of all these measure certains herbs or medicines are really helpful as immunity booster for these frontline corona warriors. Best Immunity Herbs/ Medicine for Frontline Corona Warriors: ● Sanshamni va�: It is a herbal formula�on prepared from Giloy (Tinospora Cordifolia). It is also called amrita due to its so many proper�es like an�-inflammatory, an�pyre�c, immunomodulator, an�-viral, an�-diabe�c, and an�-bacterial which make the herb best against SARS-Cov-2. ● Ashwagandha Churna/Tab: Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is the best rasayana(rejuvena�ng herb). It is the best immune modulator as well contains an� inflammatory ac�vi�es. ● Bhunimba Kwath: also called as kalmegha (Andrographis paniculata) is one of the best drug men�oned in classics for fever and cough. Its Kapha pi�a shamaka. Due to its an�pyre�c, an�viral, an� inflammatory and hepatoprotec�ve ac�on, it is the best herb among the several drugs for covid-19. ● Amalaki Churna/ Amla Juice- Amalaki(Emblica officinale ) is the good source of vitamin C which is an�oxidant and important for normal func�oning of immune system.
● Braham Rasayana: It is best rasayana for stress factor in current pandemic. It’s herbal formula�on contains around 45 ingredients and help in enhancement of immunity and give strength and power. ● Amritarishta: It a liquid formula�on used in fever and diges�ve s�mulant. Helpful to lower down the fever. ● Indukantam Kashyam: Liquid formula�on acts on the diges�ve organs and beneficial in abdominal disorders including abdominal spasms, loss of appe�te. It also provides strength and increases immunity. ● Ayush kwath powder/ Tab: It is formula�on launched a�er the guideline issued by the ministry of AYUSH. It contains 4 ingredients sauthi, Dalchini, Tulsi and kalimirch which contribute in enhancement of immunity. ● Honey: Use of honey 1Tps twice a day may be helpful in current pandemic. Honey is tridoshahara as well as an�viral, an�microbial, an�bacterial ac�vity, useful in respiratory disorders, cough, and sore throat.

BOOST YOURSELF WITH HOME REMEDIES 2) Cough (Kasa Roga) ● Roast cardamom seeds and cloves on hea�ng pan �ll they becomes fragrant, crush into fine powder and consume it twice a day with honey. ● Dry pomegranate fruit peels in sunlight and grind into fine powder, consume it twice a day with honey to get rid from repe��ve coughing.
As our globe is dealing with corona pandemic since last 6 months, majority of ayurvedic ● medicines and home remedies have got popularity among lay man in order to ba�le against corona symptoms and to increase immunity as well. So, in this ar�cle I'm men�oning few quick, prac�cal and very useful home remedies of some basic respiratory system disorders. 1) Common cold (Pra�shyaya) ● Cut ginger root into small pieces and roast in cow's pure ghee, chew it 4-5 �mes a day to get rid from running nose. ● Take 1Tsp of fresh ginger juice and add 1/2Tsp of honey to it, consume it once a day. ● Take turmeric powder and carom seeds (ajwain) 10-10gms each, boil into 200ml water un�l becomes half, now add desirable amount of jaggery and drink this decoc�on twice a day. ● Take 5 tulsi leaves, 2 cloves, 1 piece of ginger root, 4 black peppers crush them well and boil in 200 ml water un�l gets half, add desirable amount of jaggery and drink twice a day.
● In case of sore throat take 1Tsp of amla powder and honey thrice a day, it'll leave a great soothing effect in throat region. ● In case of dry coughing, boil 5 long peppers (pippali) in milk, add some unrefined sugar (sarkara) and drink it once a day. ● In case of cough and conges�on in chest, rub lukewarm ghee and rock salt (sindhav) gently over chest region, it'll promote liquidifica�on of congested cough and will help to expel mucus through mouth. 3) Asthama (Shwasa Roga) Asthama is definitely not the disease to get treated only by home remedies, pa�ents need to seek medical advice and proper ayurveda medica�on. But here are some home remedies which promotes immediate and miraculous effects in asthma symptoms: ● Gentle rubbing of Luke warm sesame oil (�la taila) and rock salt (sindhav) over chest region contributes instant comfort by relieving cough conges�on.
● Ins�ll 2-2 drops of cow's pure ghee into both the nostrils to restrict entry of foreign par�cles through nasal airways, this quick remedy is specifically beneficial in case of allergic rhini�s.
18 | The Ancient Ayurveda | Aug-Sept 2020
● Add few camphor cubes (karpura) in boiling water and inhale its fumes 2-3 �mes a day, it will help to relieve breathlessness.
● Take lukewarm mixture of 1Tsp of aleovera juice and 1/2Tsp of turmeric powder for pacifica�on of fever.
● Take fresh juices of beetroot, carrot, cabbage and green flat beans (valor papdi), heat a li�le bit and add a pinch of rock salt (sindhav), drink it every day in chronic asthama.
● Consuming 2gms of dried neem leaves powder along with honey or warm water once a day will surely benefit in fever.
● Take fresh juices of ardusi leaves (vasa) and ginger root and consume with honey two �mes a day for be�er results. 4) Fever (Jwara) Although fever is not respiratory disorder but it is commonly associated with common cold and cough so men�oning its remedies over here becomes essen�al and truly useful. ● Langhana (fas�ng) – In case of any basic fever one should take light and easily diges�ble diet in order to promote rest to diges�ve system, langhana therapy will kindle your jatharagni (diges�ve fire) and hence will digest ama (undigested food) which leads to detoxifica�on of body and pacifica�on of fever.
● In case of fever due to hear stroke or exhaus�on, gentle rubbing of bo�legourd peels on foot soles is helpful. ● Prepare mixture of 2gms of roasted cumin seeds powder (jeera) and jaggery and take it 3-4 �mes a day for be�er results in fever. Above men�oned remedies are not specifically wri�en for corona infec�on.

TURMERIC - THE GOLDEN GODDESS What’s all this hype about?? Golden la�e mix, Immunity kwath, Golden immunity mix - seen an emergence of 100’s of such immunity boos�ng products in the market recently? (All thanks to this pandemic!!) What do all these have in common?? Something which Ayurveda spoke of and propagated 5000 years ago!!!!
Turmeric - (La�n- Curcuma longa) is one of the important dravyas in Ayurveda used in many forms. Be it churnas, Va�s, Kashayas and even in Lepa form.
Due to the current scenario of Covid-19, there has been a rampant release of immunity boosters in the market, formula�ons and products that helps to keep the respiratory health in check, and as a result Turmeric has gained a lot of a�en�on and promo�on for usage. Hence it is important to know what Turmeric does, what Ayurveda says about this wonder herb and how it should be used. Coming to its name, the most common name used for Turmeric in Ayurveda is Haridra, it is also known by many other names like Peeta, Krimighni etc., which are given based on the various ac�ons and proper�es of the herb. The main part of turmeric that stores the most medicinal proper�es is the rhizome - the bulbous structure in the soil which is the underground plant stem. Properties of turmeric according to Ayurveda ● Turmeric is dry in nature and hot. ● It balances Vata, Pi�a & Kapha. ● It can be used in the freshly extracted juice form and the powder form as well.

What does Turmeric do?? ● It improves the complexion of the skin. ● It is an immune-modulator, an�-oxidant, an�-inflammatory, an�-cancer. ● Useful in diabetes (when used with neem and amla), Anemia, Liver disorders, Gout, skin condi�ons, wound healing, detoxing, upper respiratory tract infec�ons etc. How should it be used?? Other than the medicinal form as prescribed by a qualified Ayurvedic doctor it can be used as followsInternally 1. Turmeric can be used as a spice in small quan��es 1/2 to 1 gm in everyday cooking. 2. Half a teaspoon of turmeric can be added to a cup of warm milk and consumed once a day during noon or 30 to 40 mins before bed. 3. Can be consumed as tea as well, once a day. Add half a teaspoon of turmeric in 250 ml of boiling water, 2 thin slices of fresh ginger and a�er turning off the heat jaggery can be added for sweetness. Note- Turmeric should be avoided by individuals with bleeding disorders ExternallyHalf teaspoon of Turmeric powder mixed with 1 tablespoon of yogurt can be applied as a face pack which helps improve complexion, heal skin tan and calms the skin. You can also add half a tablespoon of Besan (chickpea flour) to the above mixture. Why do some people complain of excessive heat after consuming turmeric over a period of time??? As I men�oned in the beginning Turmeric is hot in nature, so if a person especially of Pi�a prakru� consumes Turmeric every day in high doses (more than 3 grams a day) over a long period of �me, or consumes more doses in summers one may experience the same. So to counter the same, turmeric can be taken with milk as the coldness of milk will help in balancing the heat.

You must have heard from many people and articles that your body does not absorb Turmeric without adding pepper!! Ayurveda does not say so. This is because as per the above concept, pepper helps in be�er absorp�on of curcumin which is “ONE OF” the ac�ve chemical cons�tuents of Turmeric. But turmeric contains a lot of other ac�ve cons�tuents other than curcumin and Ayurveda considers dravyas or herbs as a “WHOLE” and not as an isolated ac�ve cons�tuent. Hence adding pepper with Turmeric for enhancing its absorp�on is not a concept of Ayurveda, but a modern concept where the ac�ve principle curcumin is singled out. Hope this informa�on helps. EMBRACE your HEALTH because that is what EMPOWERS you. - Dr. Kajal NK BAMS
