National Seminar to Focus on Ayurveda’s Role in Liver Health
A national seminar on “Hepatobiliary Wellness through Ayurveda” will be held in Bhubaneswar on October 25th and 26th, co-hosted by the Ministry of Ayush and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
The seminar aims to promote collaborative research between the Ministry of Ayush and ICMR to explore and validate Ayurveda’s potential in managing liver and gallbladder conditions. The event will bring together experts from both fields to discuss current research, identify knowledge gaps, and formulate strategies for future studies. This collaboration is particularly significant given the rising prevalence of liver diseases globally.
Officials stated the seminar will serve as a platform for sharing best practices and fostering innovation in the field of hepatobiliary wellness. The focus will be on integrating traditional Ayurvedic principles with modern scientific methodologies to develop effective and evidence-based treatments.

The ICMR has previously highlighted the importance of research into traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda, noting their potential to offer affordable and accessible healthcare solutions. Understanding liver health is crucial as the organ performs over 500 essential functions, and maintaining its wellbeing is vital for overall health; learn more about liver health from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Organizers anticipate the seminar will lead to the development of joint research projects and the creation of standardized protocols for Ayurvedic interventions in hepatobiliary disorders.
