This September, the world celebrates the 10th Ayurveda Day, marking a decade since the Ministry of Ayush first initiated this global observance in 2016. From its roots in India’s living traditions, Ayurveda has now entered the international stage of science, sustainability, and planetary health.
In March 2025, the Government of India issued a Gazette Notification officially declaring 23rd September as Ayurveda Day every year-a milestone that signifies Ayurveda’s recognition as both a national treasure and a global healthcare ally.
This special joint issue of Ayurveda Post traces the journey of Ayurveda Day from its beginnings to its role today as a platform for ‘Ayurveda for People, Ayurveda for Planet.’We showcase key achievements, highlight scientific advances, and spotlight international collaborations that have made this decade a turning point for Ayurveda’s integration into global wellness and sustainability dialogues.

Triphala: Ayurveda’s Natural Prebiotic for Gut Health
Research shows that Triphala, a classical Ayurvedic formulation, can reshape the gut microbiome in remarkable ways. In laboratory studies, it boosted beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus while reducing harmful microbes such as Citrobacter and Klebsiella.
Even more importantly, Triphala promoted the growth of butyrate-producing bacteria-microbes that support gut lining integrity, reduce inflammation, and improve overall colon health. Scientists also found that its natural plant sugars act as prebiotic substrates, nourishing good microbes and diversifying the gut ecosystem.
This evidence underscores what Ayurveda has long maintained: healthy digestion is the foundation of strong immunity and total well-being. Read More
EAT-Lancet’s Planetary Diet echoes Ayurveda’s Ahara Vidhi: seasonal, local, plant-based.
Ayurvedic agriculture and regenerative herb cultivation reduce environmental burden.
WHO “One Health” framework aligns with Ayurveda’s Loka-Purusha Samya.
The Charaka Samhita opens with a foundational sutra:
“आयुः कामायमानेन धर्मार्थसुखसाधनम्।
आयुर्वेदोपदेशेषु धर्मार्थसुखसाधनम्॥” (Sutra Sthana 1.15)
Translation (scientific context):
Life (Āyus) is the essential prerequisite for achieving Dharma (ethical conduct), Artha (material prosperity), and Sukha (happiness or well-being). The purpose of Ayurveda is to provide systematic guidance to protect, optimize, and extend that life in harmony with natural laws.
From a biomedical and public health lens, Charaka’s sutra conveys three enduring insights: health is the foundation for human goals, not just the absence of disease; Ayurveda prioritizes prevention and promotion of well-being over mere treatment; and it insists on living in harmony with natural rhythms, a view now supported by circadian biology and ecological health science. In essence, Ayurveda frames health as a multidimensional resource that enables human flourishing. Read More
