283 | Ayurveda, Ama + Autoimmune Conditi...

Angela Perger
About this episode

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.

 

Learn More About:

  • The qualities of agni and ama
  • Cellular agni: how the five elements show up in every cell of your body
  • The four origins of ama (metabolic waste)
  • The connection between German New Medicine and Ayurveda
  • What's left when you've tried everything
