Ojas
Ojas is an important concept in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. Ojas is a Sanskrit word that translates to mean “vigor,” “essence,” or “life force.” It is considered to be the purest and most refined essence of the body, mind, and spirit. Ojas is seen as the ultimate expression of health and vitality and is the basis of physical and mental wellbeing.
According to Ayurveda, Ojas is created in the body by the proper digestion and assimilation of food. It is said to be stored in the heart and can be replenished through a healthy diet and lifestyle. When Ojas is abundant in the body, it promotes good health, well-being, and longevity.
Ojas is believed to be correlated with the immune system, as it helps protect the body from disease and infection. It is also associated with mental clarity and emotional balance, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. Ayurvedic practitioners recommend specific foods, herbs, and lifestyle practices to help increase Ojas in the body, such as dates, almonds, ghee, meditation practices, and yoga.
