Dr. Ish Sharma (Ayurveda) shares his clinical trial experience on how Ayurveda and Panchakarma can help COVID-19, immunity, and diabetes type 2.
Here’s a concept of immunity in Ayurveda known as the beej-bhumi concept, meaning’seed and land.’ In cases like this, the body is analogous to the land and diseases, or ‘bugs’ are similar to seeds. If the body is full of ama (toxins) and lacking in ojas (the best product of digestion), the disease will find it to be fertile ground for spreading, as land that’s fertile will sprout many seeds. If digestion is powerful, and ojas, as opposed to ama, predominates in the human body, then the seeds of the disease won’t be able to take hold, just as seeds won’t take root in the land that’s infertile.
When your system is fertile for disease, it’s simple for a cold or flu to sprout, as in the seed and soil concept mentioned earlier.
That’s the reason why respiratory disorders and allergies abound in the fall and early spring. In the early spring, there’s an extra variable because ama accumulated during the winter begins to melt, and overloading the immune system. The body’s immune system is then weakened and becomes a fertile ground for germs and allergens.
If you are feeling hungry at mealtimes than normal, or when you are feeling dull and heavy in the two hours immediately following a meal, these are signs that your digestive fire is burning low. To help improve your agni, add pomegranate chutney as a condiment for your meal.
Cooking your food with immune-enhancing spices like cumin, fennel, coriander, turmeric, gingers, and black pepper is also an important means to boost agni and decrease ama.
It is important to always prevent the things that cause ama to collect in any season. Steer clear of leftovers, processed foods, ice-cold foods and beverages, and heavy foods (such as fried foods).
Ayurveda advises that you do the gentle purification treatments called Panchakarma during these transitions between the seasons in the fall and the spring. Panchakarma includes a complete program of Ayurvedic massage, steam baths, and intestinal cleansing remedies, to rid your body of ama from the preceding season. Panchakarma strengthens your agni or digestive fire, so more ama will not be accumulated.
Panchakarma treatments should be carried out under the supervision of an Ayurvedic practitioner. But in the event that you can not visit an Ayurveda wellness center for inner cleansing, it’s still possible to follow an Ayurvedic regimen at home to cleanse the body of ama throughout the transition between the seasons. As an example, you can eat hot, light, nourishing foods like soups or light meals of mildly-spiced vegetables with grains like quinoa, couscous, and millet. Eating a lighter diet for a couple of weeks while the weather is changing will help burn ama as opposed to accumulate it. In addition, take care to get proper rest, drink lots of warm fluids, and take daily walks or do other exercises that are acceptable for your body type.

Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s primary purification and detoxification therapy. In Ayurveda, panchakarma processes like Basti and virechana are mentioned in the treatment of diabetes. Everybody knows that living with diabetes involves a certain amount of anxiety. And this anxiety tends to increase glucose levels.
Abhyanga is helpful in relieving stress, even for pre-diabetics. It’s helpful in relaxing muscles and, all which leads to a feeling of well-being. This helps to boost circulation that further causes increased glucose absorption, and the amount of insulin needed for impaired glucose levels also decreased.
Swedan to balance the doshas, sweda, or treated herbal steam bath opens the pores and flushes and cleanses the system through the skin, and the toxins are excreted through sweat.
One of the key procedures of Panchakarma Chikitsa, Basti karma concentrates on the elimination of toxins of the body via the rectum.
Virechana is treated with purgation treatment, which removes toxins in the body that are collected in the liver and liver. In this technique of detoxification and purification, the doshas are eliminated in the kind of feces through the rectum. It completely cleanses the gastro-intestinal tract. It’s a safe process without side effects.
