By Dr. Shaji Raj BAMS Founder and Chief Physician, Punarjanis Life Sciences, Chennai

At Punarjanis Life Sciences, Chennai’s Best Ayurvedic Treatment Centre, we take pride in addressing health holistically. On this occasion of World Brain Day 2025, themed “Brain Health for All Ages”, our Founder and Chief Physician, Dr. Shaji Raj, draws on over 33 years of clinical experience to emphasize the crucial role of brain wellness—an often neglected but vital aspect of overall health.

Many people only begin to think about their brain when issues arise—stroke, cognitive decline, or hereditary neurological disorders. But just as a CEO guides the success of a company, your brain is the CEO of your body, coordinating every organ and decision. It’s high time we give it the attention it truly deserves.

5 Ayurvedic-Backed Tips for Brain Health You Shouldn’t Ignore

Dr. Shaji Raj combines timeless Ayurvedic wisdom with modern neuroscience to present five essential habits that protect and enhance brain function naturally:

1.  Prioritize Quality Sleep – Activate the Glymphatic Cleanse

Sleep is sacred in Ayurveda. Known as “nidra”, it’s one of the three pillars of health. The brain’s glymphatic system—a recently discovered waste-clearing mechanism—is only fully active during deep sleep (7–8 hours). This system flushes out toxins, cellular waste, and beta-amyloid plaques, which are linked to diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Ayurvedic Tip: Consuming a warm cup of Brahmi or Ashwagandha milk before bed calms the nervous system and improves sleep quality.

2.  Stay Physically Active – Energize Body and Brain

Ayurveda teaches that movement ignites agni, the internal fire essential for digestion, clarity, and cognition. Exercise improves blood flow, promotes neurogenesis (new brain cell formation), and reduces inflammation.

• Youth: Aerobics, strength training, or
• Adults over 40: Brisk walking, Surya Namaskar

3.  Eat Smart – Follow the ‘Colourful Plate’ Principle

A Sattvic diet in Ayurveda focuses on fresh, seasonal, plant-based foods that promote clarity and calmness. This aligns well with the modern Mediterranean Diet, known for its brain-boosting benefits. Divide your plate into four:

• 25% Fruits
• 25% Vegetables
• 25% Whole Grains
• 25% Plant/Lean Protein

Include Ayurvedic herbs like Turmeric, Brahmi, and Shankhpushpi—proven to support memory, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance neural communication.

4.  Stay Mentally Active – Learn, Read, and Grow

Ayurveda states that “Buddhi (intellect) must be sharpened through daily learning.” Challenge your brain with new inputs:

• Learn a new language, instrument, or
• Solve puzzles, read books, and engage in meaningful

Every new experience creates fresh synaptic connections, building cognitive reserve and protecting you from age-related decline.

5.  Nurture Human Connections – The Forgotten Medicine

Isolation is the silent killer. Today, many people are connected digitally but disconnected emotionally. Ayurveda emphasizes “Satsang”—being in the company of wise, loving people—to strengthen manas (mind) and prana (life energy).

• Make time for friends and
• Participate in community
• Laugh It boosts serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin—all critical brain chemicals.
