| Abstract: | Ayurveda is known as the Science of Life. It not only describes medicines for treating diseases but also provides detailed explanations of food items that promote good health. Ayurveda encompasses both preventive and curative medicine, as it is commonly said that prevention is better than cure. Describing the importance of diet in Ayurveda, it is referred to as 'Trayaupstambh' and also known as 'Mahabhaishajya.' The risk of non-communicable diseases (NCD) is increasing due to today's food habits and lifestyle. In Ayurveda, it is placed under 'Santarpanjanya Viyadhi.' In order to prevent these illnesses, Ayurveda suggests the consumption of Vaatkar, Ruksha, and low-calorie foods. Among these options, Trina Dhanya, which refers to Millets, stands out as a prominent traditional dietary choice. Bajra, alternatively known as Pearl Millet, African Millet, or Spiked Millet, originally hails from the northern-central Sahel region of West Africa. Its introduction to the Indian subcontinent dates back 2500 years. Notably, Ayurvedic texts beginning from the 14th century AD refer to it as 'Vajranna' within the category of Truna Dhanya or Kudhanya Vargas. The current review of both Ayurvedic texts and modern literature analyzes the rational use of Pearl Millet, an important millet in the prevention and management of Santarpanjanya Vyadhi, with its probable modes of action as per both sciences. |
