New Delhi | IndianVaidyas Desk

A landmark study by scientists at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has validated one of Ayurveda’s most fundamental principles — the Tridosha theory of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
This discovery bridges ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern genomics, confirming that human genetic structures align with the Ayurvedic concept of three prakriti types.

Scientific Validation of the Tridosha Principle

The research, conducted at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in Hyderabad, analysed the genomic profiles of over 3,400 individuals.
Results revealed three distinct genetic patterns corresponding to Ayurveda’s Vata, Pitta, and Kapha prakriti classifications, establishing a scientific foundation for personalised medicine in Ayurveda.

Scientists confirmed that these doshas are not merely philosophical constructs but have measurable biological and genetic correlates. This validation reinforces Ayurveda’s position as a scientifically structured healthcare system that focuses on individual constitution rather than generic treatments.

“In the future, this genomic correlation will allow doctors to create personalised Ayurvedic medicines based on a person’s prakriti type,” the CSIR team reported.

Ayurveda Enters a New Scientific Era

This milestone has opened new avenues for personalised Ayurveda, where genetic research supports diagnostic accuracy and treatment customization.
The study also strengthens the credibility of India’s traditional medicine system at a global scale, positioning Ayurveda as an evidence-based approach to health and wellness.

(Vaidya) Dr. Piyush Juneja, Founder of Ayuquo Centrum – Ayurvedic Hospital in Noida, praised the breakthrough, saying:

“This is the scientific validation Ayurveda has long deserved. The Tridosha theory’s genomic proof will redefine the future of preventive and personalised medicine in India and worldwide.”

At Ayuquo Centrum, Sector 116, Noida, therapies and diagnoses already align with individual prakriti assessment, enabling customised treatment for kidney, liver, PCOD, migraine, and stress disorders.
