Review of the 26th Ayurveda Symposium 2024

Finally an Ayurveda symposium in Switzerland! In the country where Ayurveda has made the most progress in terms of its recognition in Europe. Kerstin and Mark Rosenberg, the initiators of the 26th International Ayurveda Symposium in Lucerne, wanted to communicate, discuss and celebrate this. And that's exactly how we experienced it: a great weekend with outstanding speakers, unique guests of honor and Ayurveda friends from all over Europe at two unique locations!

Saturday starts with a welcoming address from the Indian Ambassador H.E. Mridul Kumar and the keynotes of some of the most important representatives of Ayurveda in India: Secretary of the Ministry of AYUSH Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha and Prof. Dr. Tanuja Nesari (AIIA).
The exciting panel discussions that followed focused, among other things, on the political events surrounding the promotion and integration of Ayurveda into our healthcare system.

On Sunday, a large program with parallel lectures and workshops on the three main topics "Ayurveda psychology„, „Women's health" and "Rheumatic disorders" of this year's symposium. There was also an open Ayurveda Day with lectures on getting started with Ayurveda. The unanimous opinion of the more than 200 participants: "It inspired and enriched us all!

The organizers, above all the European Academy of Ayurveda together with the AMVS and the Heilpraktikerschule Lucerne would like to thank all the speakers and participants for their great interest and shared enthusiasm for Ayurveda. It was a great pleasure for all of us!

The first feedback we have received:

"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude. It was a truly enlightening experience, and I was deeply impressed by the breadth and depth of knowledge shared during the event. The quality of the clinical papers presented was exceptionally high, and I commend the contributors for maintaining such rigorous standards.
Moreover, I was inspired by your adept management of interactions with both guests and participants, from which I learned a great deal. Thank you once again for the memorable Swiss experience."
