Introduction to Ayurveda: Ancient Healing Wisdom
Ayurveda, the "science of life and longevity", is the oldest healing system known to humanity. It is the sister science of yoga and its origins lie in India. Ayurveda utilizes a unique system of body types and mental tendencies based on heredity and lifestyle. Use of this exceptionally accurate body typing system, paired with Ayurvedic diagnosis and therapies, including diet, herbs, exercise and lifestyle practices, results in a radically potent and effective healing system that produces deep, powerful results. My class includes a body type test, body type characteristics, dietary and herbal recommendations and lifestyle considerations. Get started on your road to optimal health for life with Ayurveda.
Ayurvedic Remedies for Common Conditions
The world is becoming a small place and herbalism is rapidly on its way to being truly global. My deep background in Asian medicine and four decade career in America combine to create a rare perspective on which remedies truly produce great results. I will share outstanding, clinically proven therapies from the Indian natural healing system, Ayurveda. Anyone can enhance a healing repertoire with these remedies. We will emphasize practical therapies that will be exceptional additions to your natural lifestyle toolkit, but which are reasonably priced, reasonably available, and potent. I will bring my favorite remedies from 40 years in natural healing. Learn about exceptional natural remedies for a strong immune system, powerful stamina, great digestion and clear, insightful thinking.
Through countless experiences with my mentor, I learned about the incredible power of culinary herbalism, applied with laser sharp insight, to heal people with simple food remedies.
The unfortunate indiscriminate harvesting of medicinal plants for poorly conceived purposes is a tragedy.
We can all make an effort to make sure that native plant populations get replanted with extra to spare in reserve so that future generations have the same access to natural medicine that we enjoy.
My mission is to educate people about the potential to use each opportunity to sit down to a meal to be an occasion for herbal and spiritual healing.
My hope is to spend a weekend mingling with likeminded people who all aspire to live sustainably and pass on a balanced and healthy life on Mother Earth to future generations.
In the herb world, I am known as “Haldi Baba” (Mr. Turmeric). I have been teaching about this remarkable herb for over 30 years. It offers so much for so many, for so little.
