Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic healthcare systems, originating in India more than 5,000 years ago. It is based on the principle of maintaining balance among the body, mind, and spirit through individualized treatment approaches. Central to Ayurveda is the concept of the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which govern physiological and psychological functions. This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will provide an in-depth overview of Ayurvedic philosophy, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic practices.
The session will cover key aspects such as herbal medicine, dietary guidelines, lifestyle management, detoxification therapies like Panchakarma, and preventive healthcare strategies. Emphasis will also be placed on scientific validation, safety, and the integration of Ayurveda into modern healthcare systems. By fostering dialogue between traditional practitioners and modern researchers, this session aims to highlight Ayurveda’s growing global relevance in promoting sustainable, personalized, and preventive health solutions.
