The sixth International Conference on Translational Ayurveda in Autoimmune Disorders, 'Kshamatvam 2026', is scheduled from September 29 to October 1 at the Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Temple College of Ayurveda, Hospital and Research Centre. Organisers expect 1,500 to 2,000 delegates, including clinicians, researchers, and policymakers. The agenda covers classical concepts such as vyadhikshamatva, ojas, bala, agni, prakriti, and rasayana therapies, alongside modern immunology. Speakers include Christian Kessler from Germany, Antonio Morandi from Italy, and Bhushan Patwardhan from India. The conference aims to generate evidence for integrative healthcare, not replace modern medicine. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: autoimmune disease, Ayurveda, Kshamatvam-2026, translational-medicine, Udupi-conference Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/udupi-conference-to-study-ayurvedas-role-in-autoimmune-disorders/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
