Beijing, 23 October 2025 — Ayurveda, India’s time-tested system of holistic medicine, continues to gain international traction as the Embassy of India in Beijing organized a comprehensive full-day workshop titled “Ayurveda for Mental Well-Being.” The program drew widespread participation from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) professionals, healthcare educators, students, therapists, and wellness practitioners, highlighting China’s expanding interest in integrative mental healthcare solutions.
The event underscored the growing relevance of Ayurveda in addressing modern mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders, while also strengthening healthcare collaboration between India and China.
Embassy-Led Initiative Promotes Integrative Healthcare Dialogue
Hosted as part of India’s cultural and healthcare diplomacy initiatives, the workshop served as a platform to exchange knowledge between Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, two of the world’s oldest medical systems. Both traditions emphasize preventive care, lifestyle regulation, and mind-body balance, making the dialogue especially relevant in today’s fast-paced, stress-driven societies.
Participants engaged in discussions on how Ayurvedic principles can complement existing mental wellness frameworks in China and contribute to integrated healthcare models.
International Ayurveda Experts Share Clinical Insights
The workshop was led by Dr. Dhanwantari Jha (PhD Ayurveda) and Dr. Nidhi Jha (MD Panchakarma), internationally respected Ayurveda practitioners with extensive experience in clinical treatment, education, and global outreach.
Dr. Dhanwantari Jha delivered a detailed presentation on Ayurveda’s scientific understanding of mental health. He explained how imbalances in biological energies—known as doshas—influence emotional stability and cognitive function. His session focused on preventive lifestyle measures, dietary discipline, daily routines, and stress management techniques rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts.
“Ayurveda approaches mental well-being through awareness, balance, and prevention, rather than symptom-based intervention alone,” Dr. Jha stated during his address.
Panchakarma Therapies Highlighted for Mental Rejuvenation
In the latter half of the program, Dr. Nidhi Jha introduced participants to the role of Panchakarma therapies in mental and neurological health. She explained how these detoxification and rejuvenation therapies help regulate the nervous system, improve emotional resilience, and enhance overall psychological well-being.
A live demonstration of Shirodhara, a renowned Panchakarma therapy, became a focal point of the workshop. Known for its calming effect on the brain and nervous system, Shirodhara is widely used for managing insomnia, anxiety disorders, chronic stress, and mental fatigue. The demonstration received enthusiastic feedback from attendees, many of whom expressed interest in further training and application.
Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation Sessions Engage Participants
The workshop also featured guided sessions on Pranayama and Meditation, offering participants practical exposure to Ayurveda’s mind-body practices. These sessions emphasized breath regulation, mindfulness, and mental clarity, reinforcing Ayurveda’s relevance as a comprehensive mental wellness system.
The experiential segment further highlighted the philosophical alignment between Ayurveda and TCM, opening new avenues for collaborative research and integrative wellness programs.
AYUSH Visa Enhances India’s Global Wellness Tourism Appeal
The event brought attention to the AYUSH Visa, an initiative by the Government of India designed to promote medical and wellness tourism. The visa enables international patients to seek authentic Ayurveda and Panchakarma treatments at accredited Indian institutions.
Key Update:
- Until December 2025, all AYUSH Visas issued in China have been exclusively approved for treatment at Sushrut Sanjeevani Hospital, Anand, Gujarat.
- This development highlights international confidence in India’s traditional healthcare infrastructure and quality standards.
The initiative strengthens India’s position as a global destination for holistic mental healthcare and preventive medicine.
Embassy Recognizes Contributions to Global Ayurveda Outreach
In recognition of their efforts to promote Ayurveda internationally and strengthen Indo-China healthcare relations, the Embassy of India in Beijing honored Dr. Dhanwantari Jha and Dr. Nidhi Jha during the event. Their work continues to enhance India’s healthcare diplomacy and global presence in traditional medicine.
Expanding the Global Footprint of Ayurveda
Since 2023, the experts have led educational and clinical programs across Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, WuYiShan, Huizhou, and Shenzhen, enabling Chinese healthcare professionals to engage with authentic Ayurvedic knowledge.
