283 | Ayurveda, Ama + Autoimmune Conditions

Ayurveda teaches that cellular communication is distorted by ama (metabolic waste), causing a breakdown in the regular healthy communication and function of the body's cells. This is the basis for autoimmune conditions.

This episode weaves Ayurveda and a little bit of German New Medicine for a look at the root cause of autoimmune conditions- how ama is formed and what approaches can be taken.
