7:00 pm - The Immune System – Ayurvedic Medicine Series

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.
Come and discover:
– How the microbiome affects body, mind, and spirit
– Why mental attitude & emotions affect the microbiome and immune system
– Ways to keep the microbiome in balance
– How to nourish our bodies with proper diet and nutrition – seasonally
– Lifestyle habits that support a strong immune system and healthy microbiome
