After
an overwhelming response to its ‘International Webinar Series’, the Ayush
Valley Foundation in association with the Ayurveda & Health Tourism
Magazine is all set to organise the National webinar Series ‘AYUSHVICHAR’.
The
first of the virtual parleys to be attended by experts in the field will be
held at 10.30 am on August 22 when the topic ‘Validation and Documentation in Ayurveda’ will be discussed in
detail. The webinar will be moderated by Dr Madan Thangavelu, noted Genome
Biologist from the University of Cambridge, UK, and co-hosted by Dr Amrita
Nandakumar, Medical Officer, Triveni Nursing Home, Trivandrum.
Dr
D C Katoch, Advisor, Ministry of Ayush, Government of India, will be the ‘Guest
Speaker’ while Dr Varghese Thomas from the Trans Disciplinary University,
Bangalore, will address scores of viewers as a ‘Panelist’.
While
the pandemic has forced scores of people to turn to Ayurveda, thanks to its
therapeutic efficacy especially immunity boosting properties, an evidence-based
validation and documentation of Ayurvedic drugs is essential for its quality evaluation
and global acceptance.
The
Ayush ministry has already constituted a task force, comprising experts from
both the traditional and modern medical streams, to lay down protocol for
Ayurvedic treatment and initiate proper documentation of interventional and
research practices.
The
speakers will touch upon these topics and more during the nearly two-hour
session on Saturday. For further details, log into http://www.ayushvalley.org/ .
