Ojas, in Ayurveda, is considered the essence of vitality and immunity; it is a subtle energy that results from the optimal functioning of all bodily tissues (dhatus). It’s often described as the "sap of life," responsible for overall health, resilience, and well-being.

Ojas has the following benefits:
- It boosts immunity
- Enhances Physical strength and stamina
- Supports mental and emotional resilience
- Supports healthy tissue regeneration
- It ensures that food is transformed into energy and nutrients effectively
- Ojas fosters a sense of inner peace, intuition, and connection to higher consciousness

As a result of Ojas resides in the heart because it is inherently responsible for all mental and physical activities

When Ojas is depleted, the following may occur:
- Lack of enthusiasm and strength
- Fatigue
- Stiffness or heaviness in the body
- Excess sleepiness, etc

Did you know Ayurveda describes health not just by what we eat, but by how we use our senses?👀👂👃👅🤲

Here's how:

▫️Hina Yoga (Underuse) → Deprivation weakens perception.🫤

▫️Mithya Yoga (Misuse) → Wrong engagement distorts reality.😵

▫️Ati Yoga (Overuse) → Overstimulation exhausts mind & body.😵‍💫

But Ayurveda goes deeper — it explains sensory use through three key concepts:
Kāla (Time), Artha (object of perception) and Karma (action)

Health depends on how we use our senses. Not just what we see, hear, taste, smell, or touch, but also when, what, and how. Misuse creates imbalance, while mindful use leads to clarity, joy, and vitality.🌺🪷🌿

Do you notice if you have any misuse of your senses?
