Topic: Dynamic DNA, Epigenetics & Ayurveda

​Abstract: The inherited genes from parents form the genetic code. The genes which express are less than 2% and form the genotype, which equates with Janma Prakriti. The expression of the genotype forms the phenotype, which equates with Deha Prakriti (psychophysiological constitution). Epigenetics is the science of changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence, resulting in a change in the phenotype without a change in the genotype. Deha Prakriti is affected by lifestyle and behavior, diet and digestion, stress management, and environmental factors. All these factors affect the expression of genes through epigenetic mechanisms that turn genes on or off, thereby affecting health. Ayurveda deals with the factors that cause epigenetic changes that affect the phenotype (Deha Prakriti) by modifying the expression of DNA. Therefore, epigenetics is a key component of Ayurveda. Scientific investigations validating this will be discussed.
