Ep. 73 History and HERstory of Ayurveda

In this episode I discuss the difference between a “masculine” approach to healing, often associated with allopathic medicine, and a “feminine” approach to healing, usually associated with holistic and traditional medicines like Ayurveda. We’ll learn why it is important to embrace BOTH forms in their highest expressions. You’ll learn one perspective on the origin story of traditional healing methods and a little bit about the journey Ayurveda has gone through from British colonization to the present.

In this episode you’ll hear:

~The subtlety of dual philosophy

~The place of symptom-based allopathic medicine

~The definition of what I call Feminine Form Medicine

~The psychospiritual origin of so many of our dis-ease

~A brief history of Ayurveda in India

~Ayurveda today in India and internationally

~The HERstory of Ayurveda

One of my favorite things about this spiritually-minded Ayurveda school is that we have no gurus and no perfect saints. But what we do have is an inner conviction that it is possible for a woman to live from a place of deep connection to something that is far sweeter, far more powerful and far wiser than we could ever possibly imagine with our conscious, limited mind. ⁠
This is the realm of the HER mystery. This is soul-level, deep-psyche living. ⁠
⁠
In 2026, we are calling in the imperfect, less-than-saintly women. We would love to support you in coming home to what may be a forgotten truth—that you are, in this moment now, deserving of living from your Soul. ⁠
