Ojas is a Sanskrit term that can be translated as “vigor” or “essence of vitality”. In a nutshell, Ojas is the vital energy that rules our immunity, strength, and happiness three things we want to have in abundance.  If our Ojas are weak, our health, our spirits, and our energy sag.

When you lift weights in the gym, that’s your physical energy at work. However, the Ojas determine your willingness to show up at the gym every day and feel energetic even after your workout sessions. This subtle force, the innate drive, makes you do more and achieve more, no matter the circumstances.

Low energy levels don’t always mean low Ojas; however, low Ojas can lead to low energy levels.

Ojas is the sustainable energy that is different from those temporary bouts of energy that you get from caffeine or eating sugar-rich foods. Instead, Ojas energy builds up with time as you follow a healthy lifestyle and consume a plant-based diet. Ojas in Ayurveda are seen as the purest essence of Kapha. It is also considered the body’s natural elixir that provides strength and vigor from within.

Weak Ojas can often impair your ability to perform mentally and physically. This leads to discontentment and a lingering sense of despair. Sometimes, weak Ojas can also make you feel restless and cloud your decision-making ability. Unfortunately, given the modern pace of life, weak Ojas among the youth is common.

Ojas and Immunity

Ojas are the vital energy that influences the body’s immune system. Weak Ojas affect your immunity and keeps you in low spirits. Furthermore, the signs of weak

Ojas become evident over time, some of which include:

• Dull and dry skin

• Weak sense organs

• Low energy levels

• Poor mental and emotional clarity

• Musculoskeletal pains, especially in the calves and back since they support your body’s weight.

• A consistently negative attitude

• Vulnerability to seasonal flu and other illnesses

• Inability to focus, negative fixations and anxiety

Having any combination of these signs without any underlying condition can mean weak Ojas and poor immunity. Even if the person may not be clinically sick, weak Ojas can lead to a similar situation. That's even worse because you don’t realize that you need help.

Nonetheless, having weak Ojas is not the end of the world. Ayurveda recommends various Ojas-building foods to revive your sustainable energy. Over time, you can get back to living a healthy and active life.

How to increase Ojas?

The best way to replenish your Ojas energy naturally is by consuming Ojas-increasing foods and exercising every day. Doing so will keep your digestive fire and metabolism in proper working order. It is also recommended to keep your eating habits in check. According to Ayurveda and the holistic healing system, if you drink your food and chew your water, you will never overeat or have digestive issues in your life. That’s one habit you can develop and solidify over time. But it is also important to eat certain foods to revive and maintain your Ojas.
