AyurWell: An AI-Powered Ayurvedic Wellness Chatbot System

Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of medicine that focuses on maintaining balance between body, mind, and lifestyle. However, access to reliable Ayurvedic guidance is often limited due to the need for expert consultation. This paper presents AyurWell, an AI-powered Ayurvedic wellness chatbot designed to provide basic health guidance using natural language interaction. The system allows users to describe symptoms or wellness concerns through a web-based chat interface. The chatbot processes user inputs using natural language processing techniques and retrieves relevant Ayurvedic recommendations from a structured knowledge database. The system provides suggestions related to herbal remedies, dietary practices, and lifestyle modifications based on Ayurvedic principles. The platform is implemented using modern web technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, and a PostgreSQL-based Supabase database. Experimental testing shows that the system can effectively respond to common wellness queries such as digestion issues, stress, sleep disturbances, and general health management. The proposed system demonstrates how artificial intelligence can help digitize traditional Ayurvedic knowledge and make wellness guidance more accessible to a wider audience. However, the chatbot is intended only for general wellness support and not replacement for professional medical consultation.
