The role of the microbiome in health and disease helps to provide a scientific understanding of key concepts in Ayurveda. We now recognize that virtually every aspect of our physiology and health is influenced by the collection of microorganisms that live in various parts of our body, especially the gut microbiome. There are many external factors which influence the composition of the gut microbiome but one of the most important is diet and digestion. Ayurveda and other systems of traditional health have for thousands of years focused on diet and digestion. Recent research has helped us understand the connection between the microbiome and the many different prevention and therapeutic treatment approaches of Ayurveda.
微生物群落在健康与疾病中的作用有助于从科学角度理解阿育吠陀医学的关键概念。我们现在认识到，我们生理和健康的几乎每个方面都受到生活在我们身体各个部位的微生物群落的影响，尤其是肠道微生物群。有许多外部因素会影响肠道微生物群的组成，但其中最重要的因素之一是饮食和消化。数千年来，阿育吠陀医学和其他传统健康体系一直关注饮食和消化。最近的研究帮助我们理解了微生物群与阿育吠陀医学众多不同预防和治疗方法之间的联系。
