Episode 83 -Cultivating a Resilient Immune System with Ayurveda

Written By Kristen Timchak

Here in the Northeast United States, it is cold and flu season.  So, in this episode of the Nourished Nervous System I discuss the Ayurvedic approach to maintaining a healthy immune system.

This is more of a long game approach as opposed to a quick fix. The episode covers the importance of balancing the digestive fire (Agni), cultivating and protecting Ojas, and managing stress, sleep, and diet. 

Practical tips include using herbs like ginger and turmeric, simplifying diets, and tracking bodily cues for better health. 

Also the importance of honoring the interconnectedness of the body’s systems and  actionable steps for listeners to enhance their immune resilience.

In this episode:

  • Ayurvedic Approach to Immunity

  • Understanding Ojas and Immune Resilience

  • Daily Practices for Immune Health

  • Herbal Support and Practical Tips
