Ayurvedic Healing And Beyond #258 Vitamin D Deficiency Explained: Immunity, Mood & Bone Health With Dr Vignesh Devraj, MD (Ay)
Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common yet ignored health issues today, and its impact goes far beyond bones. In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devaraj explains how low vitamin D affects energy, immunity, bone strength, autoimmune conditions, and mental health.
Drawing from both Ayurveda and modern medical science, the episode explores the Ayurvedic concept of Atapa Seva under Shamana Chikitsa, a gentle healing approach used when the body is exhausted and not ready for intensive treatments, and a grounded framework to correct vitamin D deficiency within the body to actually absorb and use it.
Episode Highlights:
Why sunlight is considered a therapeutic input in Ayurveda
How vitamin D regulates immunity, mood, and inflammation
The connection between vitamin D deficiency, depression, and autoimmune flare-ups
Practical steps to restore vitamin D naturally and safely
Why vitamin D must be supported by digestion, routine, liver health, and vitamin K2
