  • Abstract:
  • Sadvritta, a fundamental component of Ayurvedic lifestyle intervention, encompasses ethical, social, physical, mental, and moral conduct that impact immune resilience. This comprehensive review explores the principles of Sadvritta in classical Ayurvedic texts and draws parallels to modern immunological concepts using scientific databases. Ayurvedic concepts such as Oja (vital essence) and Bala (strength) correlate with immune cell function, stress modulation, and microbiome health. Ethical practices like truthfulness, non-violence, and self-control reduce psychological stress, a known immunosuppressant. Social harmony and strong social networks improve immune responses, while loneliness activates inflammation. Physical health is promoted through daily routines, seasonal regimens, and regular exercise, which enhance immune function. Mental practices like meditation and emotional regulation modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and slow immune aging. Moral conduct and spiritual practices promote Oja, corresponding to antioxidant reserves and hematopoietic stem cell health. The holistic nature of Sadvritta aligns with the biopsychosocial health model, and its principles can be integrated into public health to reduce lifestyle-related diseases. However, quantitative studies are needed to further validate the effects of Sadvritta on immune function. Collaboration between Ayurveda scholars and molecular immunologists may help bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern molecular biology findings, leading to the development of sustainable, culturally-rooted strategies for global health.
