Ayurgenomics And Prakriti: Bridging Ayurveda With Modern Genetic Insights

Background-Ayurgenomics integrates Ayurveda with genomics to validate Prakriti-based personalized medicine. Prakriti (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) influences metabolism, immunity, and disease susceptibility, with studies linking it to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Materials and Methods- A literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Ayurvedic texts. Studies on Prakriti, genetic markers, and pharmacogenomics were analyzed. Observations and Results - SNP variations correlate with metabolism, immunity, and disease risks. Kapha Prakriti is linked to obesity and metabolic disorders, Pitta to high metabolism and inflammation, and Vata to neurological variability. Discussion and Conclusion- Ayurgenomics supports predictive diagnostics, pharmacogenomics, and personalized medicine. Standardization and large-scale genomic validation are needed. Future interdisciplinary research can enhance precision healthcare and holistic treatment strategies.
