Description
Chettiyam Kandy and nine co-authors survey Ayurvedic doctors in Kerala, India, about millet-based diets. Diet holds a central place in Ayurveda, and interest in millets surged when 2023 was named the International Year of Millets. The online survey reached 386 practitioners with full responses.
Knowledge, attitude, and practice scores each averaged between about 5 and 6.4 out of 8. Doctors with better knowledge held far more favorable attitudes toward prescribing millet diets. Their reported practice was more positive still. The authors call practitioner knowledge satisfactory overall. They argue that education and awareness shape whether millets reach patients' plates.
