The Ayush Valley Foundation in association with the Ayurveda & Health Tourism Magazine is organizing the fourth episode of its international webinar series on the topic ‘Freedom For Ayurveda (sequel 2)’ on August 28.

The session will be moderated by Dr Madan Thangavelu, noted Genome Biologist from the University of Cambridge, UK, and co-hosted by Dr Bhaswati Bhattacharya, Director, The DINacharya Institute, USA. The prominent speakers include Lea Kraemer, Governing Council Member, Yoga Unify, USA, Prof Kishor Patwardhan, Faculty of Ayurveda, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, and Dr Sintija Sausa, Faculty of Medicine, University of Latvia, Riga, Latvia.

Ayurveda, the Science of Life that emphasizes on disease prevention and health promotion, is gradually being acknowledged by the global community. However, the traditional medicinal system is yet to get the required nod for the first line of treatment against major diseases like Covid-19. This despite reputed institutions like the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), New Delhi, successfully curing Covid-19 patients using Ayurvedic treatment protocol.

In the first session on the topic held on August 14, Padma Shri Anant Darshan Shankar, Vice Chancellor, Transdisciplinary University, Bengaluru, had called for strategic interventions including policy formulation and better budgetary resource utilisation in key areas like Health services, Education and Research to facilitate the growth of Ayurveda.

The speakers will touch upon the future measures and approaches required to elevate the ancient healing system into the mainstream medical practice. The virtual session will start from 4.30 pm (IST) on Friday. For registration, click on the following link :
