Ayurvedic Perspectives on Gut Health: Exploring the Role of Tridosha in Digestive Wellness
Author : Dharamveer Singh
Abstract :
This research paper explores the Ayurvedic perspectives on gut health, focusing on the role of Tridosha in digestive wellness. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasizes the balance of three fundamental energies-Vata, Pitta, and Kapha-which are central to digestive function and overall health. The paper delves into how these energies influence Agni (digestive fire) and its critical role in maintaining optimal gut health. It also investigates key Ayurvedic herbs and formulations, such as Triphala, Ginger, and Amla, which are scientifically validated for their benefits in promoting digestion, reducing inflammation, and enhancing gut microbiota. The integration of Ayurvedic therapies with modern scientific findings is examined, highlighting potential collaborations in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. Furthermore, the paper discusses the future prospects of Ayurvedic approaches in the context of personalized medicine, gut-brain axis management, and global acceptance. Evidence from contemporary studies supports the efficacy of Ayurvedic practices, with significant reductions in symptoms of digestive conditions such as IBS and IBD. The growing popularity of Ayurvedic practices, combined with the increasing body of scientific validation, suggests a promising future for Ayurveda as an essential component of holistic gut health management. The paper concludes by reinforcing the relevance of Ayurvedic wisdom in addressing modern digestive health challenges through a preventive, natural, and individualized approach.
