Astrology meets ayurveda: A new era of healing with panchagavya
Author(s): K Shraavani Reddy
Abstract: This study explores the integrative potential of Jyotisha (Vedic astrology) as a temporal and cosmological framework for synchronizing Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine) and Panchagavya (cow-derived formulations) in both health and agricultural domains. Jyotisha, regarded as the “eye of the Vedas,” offers a sophisticated system for determining auspicious timings (muhurta), planetary influences (graha phala), and seasonal rhythms (ritu chakra), which can significantly enhance the efficacy of Ayurvedic therapies and Panchagavya-based applications. Drawing on classical texts such as Bṛhat Samhita, Charaka Samhita, Surya Siddhanta, and Vrikshayurveda, the paper introduces the concept of Ayurgavya Jyotish—a model that integrates cosmic intelligence with biological and environmental cycles. Through theoretical analysis and applied case examples, the study demonstrates how planetary positions and lunar phases can guide the timing of Panchagavya preparation, herbal medicine harvesting, and preventive health practices. The paper argues for the scientific relevance of Jyotisha as a guiding system for sustainable, time-sensitive, and ecologically aligned practices. This interdisciplinary approach contributes to the emerging discourse on traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), agro-astrology, and holistic health systems.
