Study of Aama and Dysbiosis for Future Microbiological and Biotechnological Advancement in Ayurveda - Case Controlled Literary Study
Abstract
Introduction: In Ayurveda there are various concepts that require special attention due to their complex nature and lack of understanding of human mind. One such concept is Aama that is so far considered as toxins or free radicles in body. Our limited understanding in advance sciences like biotechnology has limited us to understand these complex yet highly valuable concepts. Through this study we will try to understand Aama in the reference of gut biota dysbiosis and disease progression. Aim: To understand Aama in perspective of dysbiosis and establishing its direct relation with advance microbiological and biotechnological researches. Methodology: Study of major pathological conditions where Aama is involved, Study of affected biota and toxins (if involved/studied) in those conditions. And further evaluation using statistical test. Discussion: Such studies in the segment of Ayurveda can lead to understand the mechanism of various functional dynamics of body as described in Ayurveda. This can be helpful in developing the concepts further and enhance our understanding toward complexity of human body. Future of this study can be seen as complete understanding of this concept of Aama. Further using biotechnological tools we can develop investigations module for confirming presence or amount of Aama present in cell or body. Further studies in medicine can help us rule out the most appropriate medicines for various pathological groups of organisms.
