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
