She further said that AIIA has struck agreements with the best partners in the world including the Harvard Medical School. An agreement with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) has also been signed for clinical trials on the efficacy of ‘ashwagandha’ (Withania somnifera) and ‘guruchi’ (Tinsopora cordifolia) in treating Long COVID, she said.
By entering into collaborations with leading institutions of the world, AIIA is seeking to promote futuristic Ayurveda by bringing about a synergy between Traditional Wisdom and Modern tools and technology, Dr. Nesari said.
These partnerships have come at a time when there is a big acceptance of Ayurveda and other traditional wellness systems the world over. The core objective is to promote advanced scientific research, evidence-based studies and clinical trials, exchange programmes and patient care,” said Prof. Nesari.
“While the biodiversity and the medicinal plants found in the region will benefit the practice of Ayurveda, the AIIA satellite centre in Goa, which is an international tourist destination, will also boost the prospects of medical tourism in the country,” said Professor Nesari,
