        abstract = {Background: Ayurveda, the traditional system of Indian medicine, views health as a state of dynamic balance among three fundamental biological energies known as Tridoshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These doshas regulate all physiological, psychological, and biochemical processes within the human body. Disease is believed to originate from the disturbance of this equilibrium. While this concept originates from ancient philosophy, emerging research in systems biology, genomics, and psychoneuroimmunology provides new scientific perspectives that support and reinterpret the Tridosha model. Objective: This review aims to explore the concept of Tridosha equilibrium from a scientific standpoint and examine its relevance in maintaining health and preventing disease in the context of modern biomedical understanding. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using classical Ayurvedic texts (Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita) and peer-reviewed scientific studies indexed in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Studies correlating Prakriti (Ayurvedic constitutional types) with molecular biology, physiology, clinical outcomes, and modern diagnostics were included. Results: The review highlights that Vata, Pitta, and Kapha can be interpreted through the lens of neuroendocrine regulation, metabolism, and structural immunity, respectively. Scientific evidence supports the existence of distinct Prakriti-linked genetic and biochemical profiles, offering a biological basis for the Ayurvedic classification system. Tridosha imbalance is found to be associated with specific disease patterns such as inflammatory, degenerative, and metabolic disorders. The Ayurvedic framework also offers preventive strategies through personalized diets, lifestyle modifications, and detoxification therapies like Panchakarma. Conclusion: The Tridosha model, though ancient in origin, provides a remarkably sophisticated and personalized approach to health management. Its scientific validation could enrich modern medical practice by contributing to preventive, predictive, and individualized healthcare. Bridging Ayurvedic and biomedical perspectives through interdisciplinary research is essential for evolving a truly integrative health paradigm.},
