The "International Ayurveda Congress" is a professional conference, which was held this year for the first time after the pandemic as a face-to-face event.

The 6 previous events were all held in Europe, but for the first time the 7th edition of the "International Ayurveda Congress" took its participants to Asia. Namely to Nepal!

Nepal has a great Ayurvedic tradition. The classical texts of Ayurveda, Charaka and Sushruta Samhita, tell of great meetings of experts of the so-called "Vedic Rishis" in the Himalayas. During this meeting, the basic texts that are still used today were formulated with such precision and comprehensively that they are still valid today.

This congress also had great political significance: the current Prime Minister of Nepal, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, spoke at the congress and assured a stronger integration of Ayurveda into the health system of Nepal.

Dr Wolfgang Schachinger was the keynote speaker at the podium on Saturday, 4 March. The results of the study on the effects of the "Herbal Detox Webinar" were eagerly awaited.

The study was conducted by a doctoral student of Maharishi International University/USA with the help of a questionnaire. 98 participants completed a standardised and globally recognised questionnaire to determine their mental state before, immediately after, and further after 1, 2 and 3 months. The completed questionnaires were then statistically analysed.

No details may be released in writing to the public before the study is published in a scientific journal, but this much can be said:

When the participants were examined using the aforementioned questionnaires, significant improvements were found in 5 areas of life: Anxiety, depression, fatigue, physical complaints associated with these psychological complaints and body weight.

The results appeared already at the end of the cure 1 week after the beginning and were still almost unchanged in strength when examined after 3 months.

The actual sensation of the results consists of 2 factors:

1. That a purely physical purification causes significant improvements in the psychological state, i.e. that anxiety, depressive moods, fatigue and the associated physical complaints improved significantly as a result of the purification.
2. That the results did not only appear shortly after the online guided cleansing cure, but that they were still strongly detectable after3-4months.

Many congress participants were enthusiastic about this presentation and the results. They approached Dr. Schachinger and congratulated him on the great lecture and the excellent results of the study!
