In the present world there is a prevalence of various diseases as the people are not so aware about their health and dietary habits. The diseases more often affect the health of population due to the resistance to various organisms and viruses, causing the disease. In spite of a balanced diet, daily exercises and yoga practices, the people are more prone to develop the diseases. The main reason behind this may be the lack of ojas (immunity) due to various factors i.e. mental and physical stress in this modern world. Acharyas, in past also explained these factors for the loss of ojas. The ojas is the essence of all the seven dhatus (essential tissues), which provides the health when present in normal state. The ojas eventually present or circulate in whole body to fight against the foreign particles (virus and bacteria) to make the body free from disease. Not only the ojas protect against various physical diseases but also make keep check and wellness of mental health as a para ojas (specific immunity), which resides in the heart. Ojas implies a resistance against the loss of integrity, proportion and inter-relationship amongst the individual's doshas (physiological components of body) and dhatus. So clinically there is a great importance of ojas in the well-being of mental and physical health. In the short words the vyadikshamatva (acquired immunity) is maintained by the ojas in normal state and measurement in body to imply the resistance against the diseases (vyadhi) and provides the rapid recovery.
