Show 1033: How to Stay Healthy with Principles of Ayurvedic Medicine

Most Americans are not familiar with the principles of Ayurvedic medicine. Despite its thousands of years of tradition, it seems exotic and possibly irrelevant for today.

How Ayurvedic Principles Can Be Integrated into Neurology:

Learn how a neurologist re-discovered the importance of Ayurvedic approaches when she found that her own migraines did not respond to the medications she prescribed for her patients. This experience convinced her to start incorporating principles from Ayurvedic medicine into treating her own patients.

Find out why this integration works so well that she treats patients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and migraine headaches with a combination of dietary adjustment, behavioral change and stress management along with medication. Learn how this ancient tradition pioneered the use of personalized treatment and discover why the Ayurvedic proverb, "What you eat becomes your mind," should be taken seriously by 21st century Americans.
