In Ayurveda, true longevity comes from Ojas—the subtle essence of vitality.

• Ojas is built through good digestion, deep rest, loving connection, and nourishing foods.

• When Ojas is strong, our energy feels steady rather than scattered, our skin and eyes carry a natural radiance, and we meet life’s challenges with a deep sense of resilience—physically, emotionally, and mentally.

• When Ojas is depleted, we may notice fatigue, dryness, premature aging, or feeling “burned out.”

A Somatic Look at Ojas

Modern science agrees with Ayurveda: stress accelerates aging, while nervous system regulation slows it down.
One simple practice: 1-2 swift inhales and 1 long, slow exhale. It tells your body “you are safe” and allows healing to happen.

Four Simple Ways to Build Ojas Today

1. Soaked almond saffron milk → Blend 4–5 overnight-soaked, peeled almonds (or you can use 1 tsp. of almond butter) into warm milk or plant-based milk with a pinch of saffron, cardamom, and/or cinnamon and a little ghee or honey. A nourishing tonic to drink 30-60 minutes before bed for vitality and glow.

2. Chyawanprash (Ojas-boosting jam) → Take 1–2 teaspoons of Chyawanprash daily with warm plant-based or cows milk or water. This classic Rasayana (rejuvenating to the body) supports immunity, energy, and overall vitality (link to product below). Avoid if you have high blood sugar.

3. Abhyanga (self-oil massage) → Warm a few teaspoons of sesame or almond oil and massage into the body for 5–10 minutes before a warm shower. Calms the nervous system and nourishes tissues (Video link below). Do not do this practice if experiencing congestion, fever, or infection.

4. Early bedtime → Sleep before 10 pm to allow the body to repair, digest, and restore.
