Drawing from classical Ayurvedic texts, this book delves into the concepts of Majja Dhatu (nervous tissue), Prana and Vata Dosha (neurological regulation), and Manas (mind-body integration). It bridges these ancient theories with modern neurophysiology, neuroplasticity, and the pathology of neurological disorders, offering a fresh perspective on conditions such as stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders, and chronic pain syndromes.
With a focus on scientifically validated Ayurvedic interventions, the book discusses Rasayana (rejuvenation therapy), Medhya Dravyas (nootropic herbs), Panchakarma (detoxification therapies), and dietary-lifestyle strategies to support cognitive health, neural repair, and emotional resilience.
Designed for Ayurvedic practitioners, neuroscientists, researchers, and students of integrative medicine, this book redefines the role of Ayurveda in modern neuroscience, offering a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for nervous system health and mental well-being.
