Major Healthcare System:

Ayurvedic Medicine

 

Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of healing. It is based on thousands of years of observations of nature and clinical practice.  I have had the privilege of learning basic information about Ayurveda from several physicians. This includes coursework  and individual study at Bastyr University, as well as a treasured weekend with Dr. Vasant Lad in which we experienced several therapies. I conducted my naturopathic/homeopathic practice from the AYU Natural Medicine Clinic in Seattle, and assisted Dr. Vivek Shanbhag in providing elements of his pancha karma program. This included special oil massage, relaxation/meditation instruction, the Sun Salute yoga posture sequence and colon hydrotherapy with individualized herbal implantation.
