The Ministry of AYUSH is highlighting its initiatives around the theme of “AYUSH for Global Health" along with other achievements at the 41st India International Trade Fair being held in New Delhi from November 14 to 27.

Various AYUSH institutes and research bodies of Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homeopathy streams have set up stalls to make people aware of how they can maintain good health by including AYUSH in their lifestyle through daily routine and good dietary habits available under the system.

The highlight of this year's AYUSH pavilion is the inclusion of interactive activities. The visitors get to know about AYUSH benefits through activities like 'Create Your Own AYUSH items' that include soap, gel, cream; identification and matching of spices. The other activities include “Daadi se Pucho” where one is briefed about kitchen solutions for health problems, a statement issued by the Ministry said.

The visitors are given free saplings of medicinal plants having multiple health benefits. Free OPD facility for visitors where AYUSH practitioners give health advice has also been provided, it said. 

"Software-based Prakriti Parikshan and Mizaj Parikshan have been included where Prakriti (as per the tenets of Ayurveda) and Mizaj (as per the tenets of Unani) of an individual can be assessed based on the profile or unique psychosomatic temperament of an individual, encompassing his or her physical, functional and behavioral characteristics.   

“Yoga Fusion programme, a live yoga demonstration, Yoga Break at Workplace, and yoga therapy are being performed by experts of Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY), New Delhi," the statement said.
