The Story in Brief
Udupi will host an international conference in September to explore whether Ayurveda can complement modern immunology in treating autoimmune diseases. 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.
The Indian Opinion
The hype around Ayurveda often swings between blind faith and outright dismissal. This conference positions itself as a bridge, testing ancient concepts like ojas and agni against modern immunology. The real question is whether it produces rigorous clinical evidence or just more wellness marketing. Watch how many trials presented here meet international standards. That number will tell us if this is genuine science or just another lifestyle trend wearing a saffron coat.
