7:00 pm - Multi-Organ Inflammatory Disease: A Modern Dilemma

July 27, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

REGISTER HERE to join Dr. Somesh Kaushik for this monthly series on Ayurvedic Medicine. This series is sponsored by the Libraries of Putnam County New York.

Shortly after Covid-19 arrived on the world scene, a mysterious array of symptoms began appearing in children.  At first, these symptoms were similar to those of other childhood ailments, but soon the severity increased to reveal life-threatening inflammation (lungs, kidney, heart, brain, skin, GI tract) requiring hospitalization. These symptoms also appeared in adults following exposure to Covid, and a link was hypothesized.  As yet, the cause of Multi-Inflammatory Syndrome in Children and Adults (MIS-C/MIS-A) is not known.

Come and discover:
The most recent findings about MIS-C/MIS-A and the conventional approach
Why this syndrome may be more prevalent in certain populations
How Ayurveda’s holistic approach uncovers root causes
The Ayurvedic philosophy regarding symptoms and treatment
The connection between diet, toxins, GI tract, blood flow, and inflammation.
