Framework for Integrating Ayurveda-Derived Interventions into Sustainable Soil Remediation: A Translational Review

Abstract Soil remediation practices have traditionally focused on reducing contaminant concentrations to achieve regulatory compliance, often with limited attention to long-term soil functionality and ecological recovery. As a result, many remediated sites remain biologically impaired despite meeting chemical threshold values. Biological and nature-based remediation approaches offer ecological advantages, but their translation into field-scale practice is constrained by variability in performance, lack of standardization, and limited regulatory acceptance.

Ayurveda-derived soil interventions represent a class of ecologically oriented remediation inputs that emphasize restoration of soil biological activity, organic balance, and plant-supporting capacity. However, these interventions are rarely incorporated into formal remediation programs due to the absence of structured pathways for scientific validation, scale-up, and policy integration. Existing literature discusses such approaches descriptively, but does not address the translational barriers that prevent their systematic adoption.

This narrative translational review addresses this gap by proposing a structured model that maps Ayurveda-derived soil remediation interventions across three sequential stages: scientific validation based on functional soil indicators, controlled scale-up and field deployment using formulation and delivery technologies, and regulatory integration supported by standardized performance data. The review critically examines why current remediation frameworks fail to accommodate biologically driven interventions and identifies measurable endpoints and implementation strategies that align ecological restoration with regulatory requirements.

By reframing Ayurveda-derived interventions as process-oriented remediation aids rather than standalone decontamination agents, this review provides a practical and testable framework for their integration into sustainable soil remediation practice. The proposed model offers clear implications for research design, field implementation, and environmental governance, supporting the advancement of soil remediation strategies that prioritize long-term soil health alongside contaminant risk reduction.
