The second of the ‘Ayush Hard Talk’
webinar series, a string of hard-hitting debates and in-depth analysis of
bottleneck issues hindering the progress of AYUSH medicines, will be held on
November one.

The topic ‘Does Homeopathy Work’
will be discussed in detail by a panel of experts, including Dr Jayesh V
Sanghvi, MD (Hom), Nature Clinic, Chennai, and Dr Ratin Chakravarthy, MD, MF
(Hom), Howrah, West Bengal, during the one hour session to be held from 4.30 pm
(IST) on Sunday next.

While a section argues Homeopathy as
very valuable in the management of acute medical conditions like stroke,
others, especially from the field of modern medicine, sound a tone of caution. Noted
Homeopaths, though, point out that there have been instances where no
allopathic management was required because homeopathic treatment had been
started before the patient arrived at the hospital. The Central government has included
Homeo clinical trials for Covid therapy and the same is in final stages.

The ‘Ayush Hard Talk’ series was
rolled out on October four when the initial episode on the topic ‘Why this
conflict between Modern Medicine and Ayurveda’ received an overwhelming
response.

The series, being organised by the
‘Ayush Valley Foundation’ in tie up with the ‘Ayurveda & Health Tourism’
Magazine, will be moderated by Dr Bhaswati Bhattacharya MD MPH (Harvard) PhD
(Ayu-BHU). She is a Fullbright Specialist (2018-2022) in Public Health and
Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College, New
York. Trained as a biomedical scientist, international public health
specialist, and primary care physician before gaining skills as a holistic
healer, Dr Bhaswati practices and teaches Ayurveda and holistic family medicine
in Manhattan and in India.

The webinar series will be held on
the first Sunday of every month. Experts and ‘Who is Who’ from various health
systems will discuss the critical issues hindering progress of the AYUSH system
of medicines despite its growing acceptance among global audiences.
