Medhya Fellowship for Cognitive Wellness Propagators: Perspectives on Healthy Ageing in Ayurveda

Project Title: Evaluating Translational Potential of Well-Researched Ayurvedic Solutions for Cognitive Wellness and Healthy Ageing

Cognitive problems increase with ageing. Conventional medicine does not have safe and effective solutions. On the other hand, Ayurveda focuses on wellness and disease prevention. So, in consultation with vaidyas, an integrative community based clinical research study was designed and executed. The most recommended medhya formulation, Bramhi ghrita, along with appropriate controls, was used as an intervention. The effect of the interventions on cognitive and brain health was assessed by using an internationally accepted test battery and questionnaires, along with MRI/fMRI. The prakriti, agni and bala of participants were also assessed. The results have shown distinct positive effects of Bramhi ghrita on age-related cognitive decline. The participants showed improved cognitive performance with no deleterious metabolic changes.

Now, to take this research back to the community through Vaidya. We are looking for motivated Vaidya, who are passionate about Wellness through Ayurveda.
