The meeting was really interesting. We had over a dozen folks with AS attend and the speaker was professional and delightful. What I got out of it was there things we could do to enhance our health using a balanced approach. lifestyle, diet, movement, thoughts. There are tools for the body, mind and spirit. Using nature as a guide, its long term, steady approach to enhance well being. It seemed like the approach would be a nice complement to their western medicine treatment for some people.
btw, modern Ayurveda in the USA do not use those substances mentioned in this thread.
Kindest regards,

I was at the meeting and also found it quite interesting. The speaker made it very clear that ayurveda probably wouldnt cure us but practiced along side standard therapies, it could probably be quite helpful. Personally, I plan on looking into it a bit more and seeing if there's anything I can get out of it.
Alot of the things she mentioned at the meeting were things that I've frequenty seen mentioned here. The use of tumeric and herbs for the treatment of inflammation and promotion of blood flow. Green juicing as a way to help heal and clean our bodies. She also discussed different body types and what we might do to correct habitual practices that may be detrimental to our well being.
