The Psychosocial Genomics of Ayurveda: Personalized Medicine with the new MinION Sequencer

Robert Sachs: Yes! Ayurveda, although based on traditions, is continuously evolving. At our recent NAMA (National Ayurvedic Medical Association) conference in April 2015, we discovered a tremendous interest in gene expression and how we could advance our therapeutic practices with deeper understanding of body and mind. Ayurveda is a science that revolves around lifestyle choices and routines, nutrition, exercise and meditation (spiritual practices). We use natural therapies and herbal medications to help balance and restore harmony to body and mind [7]. The World Health Organization recognizes Ayurveda as a complete natural health care system. Your research with Professor Mauro Cozzolino and many colleagues has fascinated us [8-13]. We recognize the efficacy of using Rossi’s 4-Stage Creative Cycle in our daily work.
