Dr Akhilesh Kumar Singh, Nodal Officer for Ayush at the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh, highlighted the growing trust in traditional Indian medicine, with Ayush services addressing the health needs of a vast number of devotees. Therapeutic yoga sessions conducted by the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY) further promoted physical and mental well-being. 
Three Ayush Convention Halls in Sectors 2, 21, and 24 hosted daily yoga and wellness sessions, educating pilgrims on preventive healthcare and holistic living. Special health screenings were also conducted for revered sadhus and saints at prominent Akharas like Juna, Anand, Niranjani, and Vaishnav Akharas.

Adding a green touch, the National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB) distributed over 25,000 medicinal plants, including Tulsi, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Neem, Amla, and Curry Leaf, promoting natural healing and daily use of medicinal plants.
