DECODING GENETICS THROUGH THE AYURVEDIC LENS: A CONCEPTUAL AND TRANSLATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

*Dr. Nihal K., Dr. G. M. Azeem

Abstract

Ayurvedic genetics by interpreting classical principles through a systems-biology perspective.[3] Rather than equating Ayurvedic entities directly with genes or chromosomes, heredity is viewed as a multilevel interaction involving biological inheritance, environmental modulation, temporal factors, and psychosomatic influences.[4] This approach positions Prakriti as a stable yet modifiable constitutional phenotype shaped by genetic predisposition and epigenetic regulation.[5,6] By integrating classical references with contemporary concepts such as epigenetics, predictive medicine, and population variability, this article offers a novel interpretative model that enhances originality and translational relevance. Such a framework may contribute to the development of personalized, preventive, and integrative healthcare strategies.

Keywords: Ayurveda, Beeja, Prakriti, Heredity, Epigenetics, Systems biology, Predictive medicine.
