ABSTRACT
Background: In order to maintain health, Ayurveda places a strong emphasis on dietary and behavioral discipline. A kind of Rasayana therapy called Aachara Rasayana links conduct to mental and physical well-being. The gut-brain axis is a physiological route that connects emotion, immunity, and digestion, according to recent scientific literature.
Objective: The goal of this review is to make a connection between the Ayurvedic principles of Aachara Rasayana and modern concepts of behavioral food safety and the gut-brain axis.
Material and Methods: The review included works from modern databases such as AYUSH Research Portal, PubMed, and Scopus, as well as traditional Ayurvedic books. Aachara Rasayana, the gut-brain axis, mindful eating, Ayurveda and behavior, and food safety were among the search terms used.
Results: Important similarities between current research relating gut health to behavior and food safety and Aachara Rasayana principles (emotional stability, moral behavior, and mindful eating) were found. Gut microbiota and central nervous system signaling are adversely affected by long-term stress, unhealthy eating patterns, and emotional instability.
Conclusion:Aachara Rasayana offers a preventive behavioral strategy that promotes food safety and gut-brain harmony. Psychosomatic well-being may be improved by integration into preventive medicine and public health.
