Abstrakt: The gut microbiota refers to the distinct microenvironment comprised of various groups of live microorganisms that reside within the human gastrointestinal system. The gut microbiota significantly influences both the physical and mental well-being of humans. Furthermore, it has an impact on one's behavioural changes. An imbalance in the gut microbiota can also result in conditions such as increased intestinal permeability (Leaky Gut Syndrome) and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Probiotics, sometimes known as "good bacteria," enhance gut health and help maintain balance. Foods that are abundant in probiotic bacteria are considered to be the most beneficial for maintaining gut health. Certain traditional Tamil foods and beverages contain a high concentration of probiotics. Incorporating them into one's normal diet will help preserve optimal gut health. The Siddha system is the most ancient therapeutic system, founded on 96 principles and the Trihumoural Theory (vatha, pitha, kaba). According to the Siddha System, the phycophysiological constituents of humans are based on three humours, and each individual has a unique combination of these constituents. Similarly, the gut microbiota is likewise distinct and varies from other microbiotas. A recent study has revealed the correlation between the trihumoural theory and Gut Microbiota. This review paper elucidates the connection between traditional foods, Siddha core philosophy, and Gut Microbiota. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
