According to Ayurveda, children are more inclined to catch colds, upper respiratory infections, and other ailments because their immune systems are untested. As they grow up, they foster resistance to illness and hence don’t become ill as frequently.
The thing the conventional doctor brings to the table to help boost immunity is immunization shots for infections, and later, when a child surrenders to disease, anti-biotics!
Ayushakti Ayurveda presents different ideas of immunity. Immunity is the inward strength, that comes from the doshas being in balance, the digestion and metabolism working together, and the tissues developing appropriately.
Immunity comes from within — eating a balanced diet, having strong metabolism and digestion, and following a healthy schedule. Prevention of infection comes from reinforcing immunity, which implies fortifying digestion.
Modern Medicine focuses on the germs and then kills them with Medicine, but the side effects are harsh. It weakens the body, resulting in your child’s immune system being prone to various infections. In contrast to Western Medicine, Ayushakti Ayurved focuses on the root cause of the infections and eliminate them without causing adverse side effects to your child’s health.

Types Of Frequent Infections
Ayurveda considers children upto sixteen years as Asampoornadhaatu or not entirely evolved body tissues. As they develop and their organs and organ systems are not entirely evolved, Ayurveda considers them more prone to catching infections. Simultaneously, numerous medicated herbs and treatments are contraindicated in kids because of underdeveloped muscles and physical and mental strength.
Considering these elements, children are viewed as more inclined to hyperreactivity and hypersensitive reactions, which prompts frequent Infection in the child. Indeed, if healthy children are this way, premature or malnourished children will experience such episodes with a higher recurrence and severity. All these conditions can be considered as Arahabaadha or Baalaarishtatha, which explains a wide range of allergy and infective conditions in children.
Infections come in two main types:
- Bacterial-Bacterial infections are caused by bacteria e.g. fever
- Viral- Viral infections are caused by a virus e.g. flu
