Join Dr. Somesh Kaushik for this monthly series discussing topics in Ayurvedic medicine.
This first of twelve monthly sessions will focus on the immune system and how to maintain a balance.
Ayurveda believes a balance of body, mind, and spirit will naturally result in a strong immune system that combats pathogens. Being out of balance results in a weakened immune system allowing illness to develop. Balancing our microbiome – the bacteria, viruses, and fungi that exist in our bodies – is critical to our health. And, nourishing not only our body but also our mind and spirit is key to the health of our microbiome.
