In Ayurveda, TORCH infections are linked to imbalances in the Pitta and Kapha Doshas, which govern inflammation and immunity, respectively.
- Pitta Imbalance: Causes inflammation and tissue damage due to infections.
- Kapha Imbalance: Leads to mucus buildup, stagnation, and weakened immunity.
Ayurvedic treatments focus on detoxification, balancing doshas, and enhancing the body’s natural ability to combat infections.
Ayurvedic Treatment for TORCH Infection

- Neem: Acts as a powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent.

- Ashwagandha: Enhances overall vitality and helps the body recover from infections.

- Detoxification (Shodhana):

A diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and immunity-enhancing spices like turmeric and ginger is recommended. Avoiding processed, fried, and heavy foods helps reduce Kapha aggravation. - Rasayana Therapy:
Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapies using formulations like Chyawanprash and Dashamoola Rasayana strengthen the immune system, repair tissues, and improve overall health. - Lifestyle Adjustments:
