Improve the immune system
with Holistic Ayurveda
The human immune system faces many daily challenges as it goes about its job of defending the body against intruders and exogenous substances. By ‘policing’ the body, it keeps us healthy and well. Knowing the immune system’s major players helps us achieve holistic improvement: 70% of our immune cells are located in the gut, where almost 80% of all defence reactions also take place. We know that high levels of psychological stress combined with poor nutrition, a lack of exercise and insufficient relaxation negatively affects the digestive system. However, the tried and tested methods of Holistic Ayurveda can sustainably boost resilience and restore emotional and mental balance.
Defending the body against viruses and other pathogens
We are protected against infection by physical barriers that prevent pathogens from entering our bodies. These include the outermost layer of skin, the mucus membranes of the respiratory tract and eyes, the epithelial cells lining the urinary tract, the gut, stomach acid, and the mouth. All this is just nature’s ingenious way of keeping us safe. Our Immune Support programmes are specifically designed to strengthen these barriers. Furthermore, Ayurveda teaches us that our digestive fire, Agni, needs to work properly if we want a strong immune system. When food is not digested properly, toxins and waste products accumulate, forming an ideal breeding ground for pathogens.
YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS KEY
What makes up the immune system?

At the Ayurveda Resort Mandira in the delightful region of Styria
Does the idea of Ayurveda, adapted to suit the western world and without the stress of long-distance travel, appeal? ‘Everyday life in Europe is not like everyday life in India,’ explains Christina Mauracher, Holistic Ayurveda expert and managing director of the Ayurveda Resort Mandira in Bad Waltersdorf. ‘Our diets and readily available, natural foods are just as dissimilar. As Holistic Ayurveda has evolved, we have gathered a huge amount of experience in the effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatments and nutrition within a European setting. We have developed new methods, recipes and treatments in combination with other naturopathic and conventional medical disciplines that are tailored to suit the needs, constitutions and lifestyle diseases of western society.’
In Bad Waltersdorf we combine Ayurvedic therapies and nutrition with a special exercise programme, alongside alternative medical therapies and the beneficial effects of thermal water. Together with the Medical University of Graz, the effectiveness of Ayurveda is scientifically examined and continuously developed on the basis of this knowledge.
