Ayurveda & Digestive Disorders

Did you know that our stomach is responsible for 80% of our immune system? Keeping your digestive system healthy is vital for our wellbeing. Ayurveda provides expert help in improving digestive health because, from it's perspective, health is dependent upon good digestion and elimination. In this workshop, you'll learn some basic tenets of Ayurvedic Medicine, how Ayurveda approaches the treatment of digestive disorders and some basic tips for good digestion.   Ayurvedic Medicine is the traditional health science from India which takes a comprehensive approach to health in mind, body, and spirit. It is an effective way to address health concerns and works from a systemic, not symptomatic, approach. In Ayurvedic medicine, the causes of health problems are addressed, not just the symptoms.   This is a talk with Q&A - come to learn and ask questions on how Ayurveda can help you heal and restore your immunity.
