In Ayurveda, man is considered as a replica of the universe. The basic principles of Ayurveda are greatly different from the basic Sciences like Triguna, Tanmatra, Panchamahabhuta, Tridosha and Agni. The person is said to be Swastha, only when equilibrium of Dosha, Agni, Dhatu and Mala along with pleasantness of Atma, Indriya and Manas are maintains and in balanced state. Ayurveda deliberates extensively on positive health measures such as life-style management, healthy dietetics which will help to maintain Agni upon which that equilibrium of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala of body are dependent and therefore conservation of health and prevention of disease. Jatharagni is the main principle substance responsible for disease and health. Any abnormality in Agni will evolve in the Rasavaha Srotas and as a result, disease manifests. Immunity is intrinsic to life and an important tool in the fight for survival against pathogenic microorganisms. To preserve health, one has to have a strong immunity to combat deadly etiological agents. To enhance immunity we need to know the importance of protecting and maintaining Agni. So, one should protect his Agni for improving his immunity against diseases by adapting proper dietary and lifestyle habits.
