Role of the Ayurvedic clock in boosting the immune system

Abstract

Ayurveda prophesizes that living in tune with nature's cycles is one of the keys to good health. All living things have a circadian clock which keeps track of night and day in the brain, orchestrates our daily rhythms of physiological, behavioural and molecular processes, and plays an explicit role in the immune system. This cycle regulates cytokine production and the activity of immune cells, such as T cells and B cells, which makes it closely intertwined with our immune system.
