Event Description:
Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine, originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Thus, Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life.
Jaya’s Ayurvedic roots began during her Indian childhood, growing up in her mother and grandmother’s kitchens. Food was cooked with attention to the season and state of wellness of the family as a whole. Over the counter medications were unheard of; food and herbs from the garden did the task of restoring wellness whether it be a case of the common cold or a bout of the ‘tropics’. For more serious ailments, food and Ayurvedic daily self-care became an integral part of the healing process along with western medicine. It was a daily practice of the audacious idea that Food is Medicine and Medicine is Food.Jaya Ramamurthy, Clinical Ayurveda Specialist
