The word immunity means the state of protection from an infectious disease. The immune system evolved as defense system to protect animals from invading microorganisms and malignant disorders. Immunology is a branch of biomedical science that covers the study of all aspects of the immune response in all organisms. The study of the molecular and cellular components that comprise the immune system, including their function and interaction, is the central science of immunology. Ayurvedic system of medicine not only deals with treating the diseases but also aims to prevent the onset of a disease. The concept of Vyadhikshamatva prabhav described in Ayurveda may be considered as equivalent to Immunity. Hence an attempt has been made here to compare and corelate the Ayurvedic concept of Vyadhikshamatva with the immunity.
