Weak Immunity

The metabolic systems tend to function differently in each season. As a result, during the transition between one season and another, Agni (digestive fire) can fluctuate dramatically. This may lead to incomplete digestion and thus build-up of partially digested food or Ama in our tissues. This Ama becomes very toxic and makes body prone to the growth of diseases. If our immune system is not that strong, our body becomes a fertile ground for viruses, harmful bacteria and allergens. Primarily, loss of appetite, or a heavy and dull feeling in the hours after a meal, indicate a low digestive fire or Agni. These symptoms also indicate a build-up of Ama. For immunity, it is said ‘Prevention is better than Cure’. Thus, exercising healthy lifestyle, and switching to herbs that promote natural immunity is far better option.
