How To Cite This Article: Pareek S., Nimbalkar M. Role of Lehan in Enhancing Child Immunity.
The concept of Vyadhiksamatva (Immunity) is of tremendous importance in the daily wellness of human beings; for prevention and recovery from diseases. In Ayurveda, the essence of all Dhatus is called "Ojas" and it is responsible for the defence of human body against diseases. Immunity is the balanced state of multicellular organisms having adequate biological defences to fight infection, disease or other unwanted biological invasion, while having adequate tolerance to avoid allergy and autoimmune diseases. In Ayurvedic literature, for increasing the immunity Acharya Sushruta, Vagbhatt and Kashyapa described Lehana for this purpose which ultimately enhances immunity. Lehana Karma enhances growth and development by providing sufficient nutrition and promoting health with improving intellect and speech.
