Ayurveda

Ayurveda, the traditional medical system of India, is rooted in solid philosophical principles that are part of one of the greatest knowledge systems of our civilization, the veda. Preserved through millenniums of development, Ayurveda disposes until date of an important classical literature. Since India’s Independence from colonial rule, Ayurveda has become an official medical system of the country. Its role and impact at home are ever expanding since the beginning of the 3^rd millennium, in parallel to the modern global spread of Ayurveda in which Switzerland is playing a key role. The movement has been accelerated since 2018 with the close collaboration between the Indian government and the World Health Organization (WHO).
