New Delhi — If your naani’s haldi-doodh or that mysterious green chutney from RK Puram suddenly feels more “global,” you’re not wrong. Delhi is about to host something huge—no, not another food fest at Select Citywalk—but the WHO Global Summit on Traditional Medicine. Happening right here in Dilli, the world is literally pulling up a charpai to talk about age-old remedies we’ve been swearing by for generations!
Chyawanprash Just Went International, Beta
This summit is not your average snoozer of academic talks. It’s a two-day deep dive into the very potlis of daadi wisdom—Ayurveda, Unani, naturopathy, traditional Chinese medicine…basically what we all turn to once the chemist closes at 10 PM. Scheduled in New Delhi by the World Health Organization, it’s bringing leaders, health experts, and policy nerds from across the globe to see what’s cooking—quite literally—in India’s bowl of traditional wellness.
And yes, it’s a big freaking deal. Why? Because it’s the first time WHO is hosting such a thing and they picked us—Dilli! With our yoga-filled mornings in Lodhi Garden and those ashrams tucked in Mehrauli, we’re practically the natural wellness capital of the world. The summit isn’t just about gyaan. It’s about integrating ancient knowledge with modern healthcare systems. You know what that means? One day your family doctor might actually prescribe tulsi before tossing an antibiotic.
So… Should We Be Worried About Traffic?
Okay, let’s be real. Is this summit noble? Totally. Is it good for our daily commute? Err… not so much. If you’re planning to zip past South Dilli between AIIMS and other major medical hubs, grab a chai and chill—traffic diversions could spring up quicker than you can say giloy. And don’t be shocked if there’s a sudden shortage of neem leaves or the Nirogaya section in Dilli Haat gets crowded AF.
📍 Spot Check: Best avoid the All India Institute of Ayurveda near Sarita Vihar and be cautious around Central Secretariat—VIPs with z-plus security will be rolling deep.
The Final Word
Delhi being the centre of the traditional medicine universe for a weekend? We vibe with that. Just promise us one thing—next time you mock your dadi’s kaadha, remember: the whole world just RSVP’d to hear her out.
