Abstract:
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, presents a unique approach to physiology centered around the concept of Doshas, with Vata Dosha governing all types of motion and communication in the body. Vata is further classified into five subtypes: Prana, Udana, Vyana, Samana, and Apana Vayu. These five subdivisions regulate vital functions including respiration, circulation, digestion, and excretion. Modern physiology attributes such functions to the autonomic nervous system (ANS), composed of sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric systems. This review seeks to establish correlations between Ayurvedic and modern frameworks, revealing functional parallels and offering an integrative physiological perspective. Understanding this convergence can aid in forming holistic healthcare models and developing therapeutic strategies rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science.
