“Is there a way for us to strengthen ourselves from the inside? By making our body strong enough to naturally fight infections and overcome ill-health?”

This study seeks to employ Ayurveda, our traditional Indian medical system, to improve and maintain health. In Ayurveda, Swasthya or health is not just the absence of disease; it has a deeper meaning. Swasthya is a state of being which is resilient; where both mind and body can withstand any perturbation, be it large like diabetes or small like a virus. In Ayurveda, there are detailed guidelines on everyday practices that will help an individual enjoy Swasthya.

 “Nanna Usiru Nanna Swasthya” is an exploratory research program to understand if selected daily Ayurveda practices and yoga can help improve resilience and importantly, maintain good health.

​This CSR project is funded by BOSCH and implemented by TDU. Funders have no role in study design, implementation or data collection.
