Many autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Thyroid, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus are still posing a challenge to the science that solves many mysteries easily. In such a situation, the guidance of Ayurveda can prove to be very valuable.
Why do autoimmune diseases happen?
Our immune system is made to eliminate the external invading bacteria, allergens, toxins etc. components of the body and performs this function through immunoglobulins, but due to some reason when the human immune system attacks itself instead of external enemies. When it starts attacking the cells, then autoimmune diseases take birth. Why this happens, even scientists have not been able to understand it yet.
Ayurveda has tried to understand immunity from its point of view. Dosha, dhatwagni, ojas, beautification of metals etc. various components make up immunity (immunity power). But due to many reasons such as improper lifestyle, diet, opposition, mental stress, heredity, the functioning of these components starts deteriorating. Weakness in gastric and dhatvagni due to improper diet etc. gives rise to mango. It interacts with common various metals and causes diseases that are now considered to be autoimmune diseases. Therefore, to avoid them, attention should be paid to the reasons like diet etc.
What to eat in these diseases?
To avoid or control autoimmune diseases, first of all, the digestive system and digestion should be kept strong. Balanced gastric and dhatvagni have the ability to digest each and every element of food. This greatly reduces the chances of developing autoimmune diseases.
Substances like turmeric, coriander, carom seeds, cloves, dry ginger, cumin, cardamom, bay leaves provide strength to the fire. Their use in the diet improves the function of the digestive system. Using all these in proper quantity in food is able to keep autoimmune diseases away.
What should be done?
Conversely, making things common to debilitating Agni increases the chances of autoimmune disorders. Due to heavy substances like curd, paneer, lassie, buffalo milk, milk including cream, ice cream, meat, fish, eggs, bread, chocolate, Agni becomes weak. This increases the chances of autoimmune diseases. Maida, Sabudana, Hydrogenated Ghee and sweets are also heavy to digest and a leader in making mangoes. It is important to be careful with them too.
Many grains and pulses and their skins contain substances that are difficult for our fire to digest. If such substances are consumed repeatedly, then undigested elements can give rise to autoimmunity. Therefore, cereals and pulses like tur, urad, gram, chickpea, kidney bean, soybean, cowpea, moth, wheat, maize should be consumed carefully and special attention should be paid to it that they are digested well.
Consuming cold liquids in winter, consuming more hot liquids (kalviruddha) during summers, consuming hot and cold liquids together (viryaviruddha) etc. It is beneficial not to consume them.
The secret of staying healthy in old age is to start it at a young age. Inculcating healthy lifestyle and diet habits in the first innings of life plays a role in the second innings. Therefore, there is a need to be very careful about the dosage, only then the innings of a long healthy life can be played. After all, a good life is what counts in itself and it is seen through good health in old age.
Will the food be beneficial?
Antioxidant activity is sometimes seen to be reduced in patients suffering from autoimmune diseases. Therefore, the consumption of substances that increase antioxidants is considered necessary in such diseases. Most vegetables and fruits are rich in antioxidants. Their regular consumption proves beneficial in such diseases. Petha, Bathua, Carrot, Tinda, Luffa, Cabbage, Parwal, Turnip, Okra, Cabbage, Beet etc. Vegetables and fruits like apple, pomegranate, papaya, litchi, peach, pear etc. are considered beneficial in this.
Pay attention to Oz-
In Ayurveda, immunity (immunity) is believed to be closely related to Ojas. In the event of weakening of immunity, it is considered necessary to emphasize on Ojas. Therefore, the diet is also believed to be nurturing Ojas. Almonds, cashews, raisins, raisins, chilgose walnuts, cow's milk and ghee, etc., increase Ojas. Therefore, consuming them in proper quantity is beneficial. Tobacco, alcohol, gutkha and other intoxicants are considered to be discarded due to being ojnashak. Strong energy and free from mangoes, the body remains free from autoimmune diseases.
