Abstract

This article explores the fascinating correlations between Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine, and modern genetics, shedding light on the concept of genetic engineering within the context of this ancient healing tradition. Ayurveda's holistic view of human constitution, emphasizing the Doshas and individual uniqueness, aligns with modern genetic variations. The notion of Beejadosha and Beejabhaga reflects the role of genetic inheritance, while Ayurvedic principles of lifestyle and environment resonate with epigenetic influences on gene expression. Furthermore, the integration of Ayurvedic herbal medicine and dietetics with modern genetic research offers promising avenues for personalized medicine. This study presents a convergence of ancient wisdom and contemporary science, paving the way for a healthier and balanced future.
