This session is meant to be an integrated approach with Osteopathic Medicine with Ayurveda addressing digestion. This is important because western medicine does not have all the answers. These two philosophies are aligned through acknowledging that every individual is a unique expression of body, mind and spirit. There are elements and habits affecting us in different ways that may cause pain and suffering. One element is known in Ayurveda as ama, as western trained physicians we would view this as undigested pro-inflammatory materials (toxins) that sometimes come from within and we take in from outside of ourselves. When our digestion is balanced, we can process these materials with ease, but often we need help to improve our ability to digest. So, we’d like a chance to make the concept of ama easy to understand, and demonstrate how to guide a patient to recognize they have ama, and how they might practice stoking the digestive fires so to speak as well as eliminate ama.
