At the symposium, Dr. Poornima Mukkanniyil delivered a notable presentation focusing on the intersection of gut bacteria and Vipaka (the post-digestive effect in Ayurveda).

By bridging ancient Ayurvedic pharmacology with modern gut microbiome science, the presentation explored how metabolic transformations in the gastrointestinal tract influence overall health, systemic balance, and long-term vitality. This work underscores the mission of AyurCulinary (ayuculinary.in): translating complex metabolic science and classical dietary wisdom into practical, high-impact clinical programming that empowers individuals on their journey toward self-healing.
