Since ancient times, people have written about the immune system as it is important in human physiology and health. The ancient texts of Ayurveda also state that the immune system depends on a person’s lifestyle, nutrition, and adherence to the laws of nature; this is the main tenet of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the science of proper lifestyle and nutrition to maintain perfect health.
According to Ayurveda, there are three physiological types: Vata, Pita, and Kapha. Vata has wind as an analogy in nature; Pita is fire; Kapha is water or earth, i.e., the material nature of man. And Kapha basically controls our immune system, and any imbalance in the Kapha area can lead to a loss of immunity, often resulting in illness and exposure to infectious diseases, including viral, bacterial, and other infections.
That’s why balancing all kinds of physiology is so important in Ayurveda (they are also called “dosha” in Sanskrit), especially for the immune system, where balancing Kapha is so important. Balancing the physiological types in Ayurveda, or dosha balance, creates a strong immune system.
The connection between the immune system and our emotions, lifestyle, nutrition, and our environment has all been well described in the book “Our Answer to Cancer.” This book was written by doctors Hari Sharma, Rama Mishra, and James Mede. These doctors are not only doctors but also Ayurveda doctors. They were able to describe the connection of physiology, the date of presentation, the connection of our immune system and emotions in such a paragraph. They describe that the science, which is called Psycho Neuro Immune Technology, i.e. psychoneuroimmunology, since this science is quite new, it has such technologies that allow you to capture the connection between the nervous system, mind, feelings, and mood and the neuroendocrine system, which play a major role in the prevention and occurrence of diseases.
The Brain’s Role in Immune Control
Immunology is the study of how white blood cells and other immune cells, and the immune system as a whole, keep our bodies healthy and prevent disease when the immune system is in balance. Psychoneuroimmunology is the science that formally studies how our body reacts, for example, to jokes, to actions, both good and bad, and other stimuli. First, our mind reacts through the neuro-hypothalamic system, especially the limbic system, particularly the amygdala. The amygdala surrounds the hypothalamus, responds to all emotions, and is part of the brain’s limbic system. It controls motivation and behavior, and sometimes it becomes completely uncontrollable so we cannot control it.
This area is directly connected to the hypothalamus, which is often called the command center of the brain and the body as a whole. It performs functions such as signaling the release of hormones so they function, ensuring we satisfy hunger and thirst in a timely manner, and regulating blood sugar levels, sleep, and wakefulness. In addition, this part of the brain is responsible for anger and happiness, and when situations arise in our lives that trigger these emotions, it immediately sends signals to all our hormones and to all our organs and body functions. The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary gland, which is responsible for the body’s hormonal functions. It is connected to endocrine glands and sends signals to them. It has particularly important connections with the thyroid gland and adrenal glands.
The entire combination of these signals through the endocrine system is very powerful and affects all our organs, even those not directly connected to it. These organs cause us to have a variety of reactions, instantly changing body temperature and emotions, for example, a feeling of thirst, emotions of happiness or hatred, love, and so on.
Neuroimmunology studies neuropeptides, which are proteins the brain sends as signals. They affect our digestion when we eat. If we eat in a calm atmosphere, we are relaxed, in a pleasant environment, with friends, and having a pleasant conversation. In such an atmosphere, we can better accept and digest food, which will be beneficial to us. Conversely, in an unfavorable atmosphere, food will not be useful for us. Therefore, our environment during meals is of great importance to us, since in Ayurveda, digestion is the most important function of the body for health, to maintain harmony and happiness, and, most importantly, these signals affect our immune system. This is the connection between emotions and the immune system.
Emotions are associated with a whole army of natural killer cells, interleukins, interferons, and all white blood cells. Our brain sends signals to the immune system, and the immune system has its own chemicals that send signals back to the brain. This exchange of information occurs constantly between the brain and the immune system and reflects the slightest changes in behavior, environment, mood, etc. That is, there is constant monitoring of our emotions and our attitude to the environment. The response of the immune system, or the lack of it, explains a lot, particularly the occurrence of cancer, which is now considered a disease of the immune system and can mean the difference between life and death.
Each person has a small number of carcinogenic cells that circulate in the body, so there is a potential for cancer, although it may not become a reality unless certain conditions are met. If we have enough natural killer cells and they are able to destroy these cancer cells, tumor cells without problems, then we are protected and can be healthy. But if these natural killer cells do not work well enough, do not function properly, or there are too few of them, they do not fulfill their task. That’s why emotions that trigger negative reactions in the immune system are among the most important factors in the occurrence of cancer.
Why do emotions cause depression of the immune system? The main cause is the limbic system, a part of our brain, which produces and stimulates cortisol production. It regulates our response to stress, and chronic stress constantly increases cortisol levels, which also leads to protein breakdown in the human body. Cortisol breaks down protein in the body to release energy when energy stores are low. In addition, increased cortisol levels depress the immune system, leading to fewer lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and other cells capable of fighting cancer.
The Crucial Role of Epinephrine and Cortisol in Survival Physiology
Another hormone powerfully regulated by the limbic system is epinephrine, or adrenaline. It is often used in medicine to treat certain diseases, such as asthma, because it can neutralize some bodily reactions. It is also produced by the adrenal glands in response to situations when we are forced to either fight or run away. In these cases, the body releases a huge amount of adrenaline, and our heart begins to pound harder, our muscles contract, and our lungs expand, preparing us to either fight or run away. That is, the body is preparing to mobilize all forces so a person can avoid danger or fight, but it is not able to support other body functions, such as digestion and other important functions, since there is no time, strength, and energy for this. Therefore, these hormones play a huge role in our lives for our survival, and we really need them.
Cortisol is very important for reducing inflammation in the body. We can’t live without it either, so lowering cortisol is also dangerous. The same is true for adrenaline. It is needed in our lives at times when we are in danger or need to work hard, and we need to gather all our strength to fight danger or a disease in the body. At these moments, it is necessary that everything be enough. We should try to reduce the likelihood of such situations, since they are naturally not pleasant, but at the same time they are necessary, as they help us preserve our lives.
We can also recognize that, in the future, there may be danger, so we can be careful and use this experience to save our lives. Therefore, it is important to reduce stress to lower the production of these sometimes very dangerous hormones, keeping them in balance, neither too much nor too little, so we can regulate our emotions. For example, you cannot force yourself to be happy, but you can accustom yourself to a regular lifestyle that will help us maintain a state of balance and harmony and create the conditions for good, pleasant, happy moments in life, such as jokes, music, and chatting with friends, which have a beneficial effect on our mood and therefore affect our immune system by increasing the number of natural killer cells and other cells of the immune system.
In particular, one case is described in which a person learned that he had a very dangerous disease. As an immunologist, he realized that his organs, including the adrenal glands, were depressed, and he decided to help them. To do this, he began watching many films with his favorite comedian. The films made him laugh, brought pleasant emotions, and he recovered. He lived longer than could be expected with such a disease. Most importantly, his condition, mood, mind, attitude, and the ability to change his mood at this tragic moment with the help of humor were key. And not all people are capable of this.
Many people, when they hear about tragic events or sad stories, give themselves over to sadness and longing, and do not want to be distracted by anything funny, jokes, or music, because they fear others will think they are insensitive or incapable of empathy. Medicine does not take people’s moods into account, and there is no attempt to change a person’s view of their illness for the better. That this disease also depends on the mind, which is not just a physical accumulation of bad cells or problems with DNA. It’s like a kind of ignorance in society and medicine, which does not allow our science to show the powerful connection between our mind and body, our brain and the immune system, and other body systems.
The authors also say that in Ayurveda, maintaining positivity is one of the tips. It reduces cortisol, supports immune cells, and helps reduce the toxin, the so–called Ama, which clogs our internal channels. This knowledge helps cleanse the body and is another reason to use Ayurveda for cancer and other diseases. Positivity, in addition, can increase Ojas – this is a term in Ayurveda for the energy of life that coordinates all activity in our body at the most subtle level, including at the gene level. It can also mean that the human disease itself, if it has increased in the body, can decrease and disappear.
Cellular Memory and Meditation: Ayurveda Insights into Disease Prevention
In Ayurveda, there is also a concept – pragiaparat. This is an error of the intellect. This concept assumes that when the intellect forgets something, there is an organism’s memory, and it is recorded in the intellect of our body. At those moments when the intellect forgets this memory of our higher consciousness, there is a great risk of diseases, in particular cancer, because it affects our DNA. There is even a Western theory that cancer is a problem with DNA that performs some kind of task. Ayurveda also confirms that DNA is a manifestation of intelligence, our consciousness. And of course, toxins, internal or external, can cause an error of intelligence, but this happens not only from an error of intelligence, but also from an error of intelligence in the cells themselves, says Ayurveda.
How can this cell remember the intelligence of our consciousness? Technologies such as meditation, in particular Transcendental Meditation, can increase the cell’s memory capacity for this intelligence. That is, the cell’s memorization of the intelligence of our consciousness is enhanced, thereby reducing the possibility of intellectual error. For those who want to reduce any possibility of such an intellectual error, it is very important to use meditation techniques to reduce the risk and increase Ojas.
Ayurveda recommends getting up early in the morning when the sun is just rising and taking a walk to end depression. This walk at sunrise is a powerful way to wake up our cells and activate Ojas energy.
It increases lymphocytes and reduces cortisol when we walk at this time and look at the rising sun, but not directly, because the sun’s rays can damage our eyes and vision. We can look away. The sun is a wonderful phenomenon of nature. First, it is very emotionally charged and causes pleasure, love, and joy. It also saves our lives, because the sun is the savior of our lives, the sun that rises every day and wakes us and all nature to a new life, and everything at this moment in nature is full of energy and joy. Birds and trees wake up in an atmosphere of happiness and energy in the air, and all this reduces the error of intelligence in our cells. That’s why a sunrise walk is considered a therapeutic procedure in Ayurveda. Strangely enough, this is not just a pleasure, but it is prescribed by doctors and specialists in Ayurveda both as a remedy and as a means of preventing all diseases, and should be one of the basic rules of our life.
When a person thinks about cancer, he does not want to just deal with prevention or even risk reduction; he wants to take some kind of supplement or medicine because he is afraid and needs to think about what to take. Naturally, it is advisable to take something natural to reduce the body’s toxic load, which is already high at this time. As a rule, sometimes this is not enough; it depends on the treatment, on which doctor, and what he chooses. But a warning is absolutely necessary if there are predisposing factors for the development of diseases, especially cancer. And taking pills makes a person feel reassured that he has done something that may help him. It is advisable that we take herbs that help our liver work better, purify the blood, increase our resistance to stress, and improve the absorption of nutrients from food and in our body, and so on.
Enhancing Immunity with Maharishi Ayurveda Supplements
In Maharishi Ayurveda, supplements such as bio-immune pills (Bio-Immune) are a good way to strengthen the immune system. They contain zinc, mica – Ayurveda substances – and pearls. The list of these substances is long, but the main component is Ashwagandha, or winter cherry.
Ashwagandha is a well-known Ayurveda herb considered an adaptogen, meaning it helps increase resistance to stress. It also gives energy, and in Ayurveda energy is equivalent to immunity. That’s why Ashwagandha is one of the main herbs for improving the immune system. There are also other components that stimulate or balance the immune system and cleanse the body of AMA, or toxins. Tinospora cordifolia
One of them is Tinospora cordifolia extract. Tinospora, also known as Giloy or Guduchi, is known for its very strong effect on the immune system. Ginger, holy basil, long pepper, black pepper, and other spices are important for cleansing and balancing the body.
Doctors recommend taking one or two tablets after breakfast and before going to bed for three months. Ayurveda supplements require long–term use to be effective because they work slowly but surely. These products are available from our company, Maharishi Ayurveda Product International, in several countries, including India.
This is a combination of lifestyle, attitude toward life, and the use of additives that increase the number of natural cells, as well as morning walks, laughter, and positivity, which also increase the number of natural cells. All this was developed by our ancestors through science many, many millennia ago so we could be healthy, and it was not only passed down orally but also later recorded. And now we can read some of the ancient texts restored by Ayurveda. And now we can prove the connection between these ancient recommendations and the latest scientific achievements, such as cases in psychoneuroimmunology.
Of course, in the future we may see that these recommendations are absolutely correct, even if at first glance they may not be completely clear or may seem strange or insufficient, because we believe that to live we need something completely new, such as new technologies, and that this is already outdated. It doesn’t fit anymore. For example, there is a point of view, even among doctors, that the recommendations of Ayurveda were valuable only in the past, because then people lived in an ideal environment, everything was fine around them, with clean air, everyone was happy, and it was very easy to use all these recommendations. And now it doesn’t work anymore. Now there are other times, and we need to do it differently, that is, with the help of the latest achievements of science and technology.
In fact, these laws of nature cannot be changed, and time does not change them. Our bodies have been obeying these laws of nature for many millennia, and all of this is programmed to fulfill them. Violations of the laws of nature naturally affect us and lead to disease, regardless of whether we know about them. Of course, such an ancient science as Ayurveda allows us to learn about them, so if we want to know more, we can read now, because this science has been restored after a long period of oblivion, almost lost, and we can conduct scientific research to prove that they really occur. And we can reintroduce them into our lives, particularly to improve our immune system and prevent cancer and other immune-related diseases. And also so that we can live in the fullness of the life of our consciousness and be able to realize all the goals of our life.
What has really changed now is the level of toxicity in the human environment, and it must be reduced and removed from the body. This is also due to Ayurveda, with detoxification methods and Panchakarma – body-cleansing procedures performed in a stationary position, using special oil and herb massages, as well as specific cleansing procedures for various organs. It is recommended to do that occasionally, but you need to support yourself constantly at home with home procedures, proper nutrition, and a lifestyle aligned with the type of human mind and body and its imbalances.
People with Kapha constitutions are especially susceptible to cancer because Kapha regulates the growth of the body and cells, as well as the entire immune system. If a person has an imbalance of Kapha in the body, the possibility of tumor occurrence increases even more. Without a correct approach to nutrition, environment, and lifestyle, it can lead to cancer.
We can gradually introduce better nutrition to balance Kapha, guided by Ayurveda recommendations tailored to each person. Mainly, this means reducing heavy foods, especially those high in fats and carbohydrates. You can temporarily switch to light or even vegetarian foods, or simply reduce the amount of meat, especially red meat, in the diet. At the same time, you need to avoid excessive amounts of greens, which some experts recommend, because greens reduce the level of fire – the power of digestion in the body. With a Kapha imbalance, weak digestion is the main cause of stagnation and toxicity.
It is necessary to check thyroid function, as its weakness contributes to stagnation and poor digestion. It is better to use alternative methods, since conventional tests are not always adequate. Please contact us if you would like an assessment of your body type and recommendations for balancing doshas in physiology to prevent and complement the healing of cancer and other immune system problems. We can also help you find the best tests and protocols for balancing other systems in the mind and body. Many lab tests are now available for self-ordering and can be shown to experts and doctors.

You can temporarily switch to light or even vegetarian foods, or simply reduce the amount of meat, especially red meat, in the diet. At the same time, you need to avoid excessive amounts of greens, which some experts recommend, because greens reduce the level of fire – the power of digestion in the body. With a Kapha imbalance, weak digestion is the main cause of stagnation and toxicity.
It is necessary to check thyroid function, as its weakness contributes to stagnation and poor digestion. It is better to use alternative methods, since conventional tests are not always adequate. Please contact us if you would like an assessment of your body type and recommendations for balancing doshas in physiology to prevent and complement the healing of cancer and other immune system problems. We can also help you find the best tests and protocols for balancing other systems in the mind and body. Many lab tests are now available for self-ordering and can be shown to experts and doctors.
