Abstract
The neuroendocrine system's intricate interactions between the nervous and endocrine systems are fundamental to maintaining homeostasis. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical system, provides a holistic perspective on health, emphasizing the balance of three primary doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. This article explores the correlations between Ayurvedic principles and modern neuroendocrine concepts, highlighting how Ayurveda's holistic approach complements contemporary scientific understanding. Vata's association with movement and communication parallels the nervous system, while Pitta's link to metabolism mirrors endocrine functions. Kapha's role in structure and cohesion aligns with the body's maintenance systems. Ayurvedic practices such as diet, herbal remedies, and lifestyle interventions support neuroendocrine health by promoting hormonal balance and stress resilience. Key practices include the use of adaptogenic herbs, balanced diets tailored to dosha types, and stress management techniques such as meditation and Pranayama. Recent scientific research validates many Ayurvedic methods, demonstrating their effectiveness in modulating stress responses and improving hormonal balance. By integrating ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern scientific insights, a comprehensive approach to neuroendocrine regulation can be achieved, fostering overall health and well-being.
