The Ojas which is present throughout the body (sarvasariravyapi) is responsible for both disorders resisting power and immunity. Ojas is excellent essence of all dhatu and is responsible for sustaining the life. In different classical Ayurvedic texts, Ojas has been described elaborately with its type, site, quantity, function, and derangement etiology. Ojas Vikruti is of three types- Ojas Vyapad, Ojas Vistronsa and Ojas Kshaya. Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system attacks self-molecules as a result of a breakdown of immunologic tolerance to autoreactive immune cells. 
The thyroid and immune system have an interactive relationship. This means that thyroid issues can affect the immune system, and immune system issues can affect the thyroid. Hyperthyroidism often occurs due to an autoimmune response, but regardless of its cause, it may affect immune function. 
The present review explains about the fundamental concept of Ojas & interprets its relation with autoimmune disorders with special reference to hyperthyroidism.
