In this episode we explore

Sara’s personal healing journey and how she discovered and fell in love with Ayurvedic medicine.
“I was terrified of my own voice, and was wading in these deep waters of trying to find myself and terrified of who I was who I am. And My voice is such a huge part of who I am. So for so long, I pushed it away out of fear. Until finally I I got so sick that I couldn't deny it anymore. I actually had tumors form in my, at the base of my neck, this perfectly beautiful place That is the channel from my heart to my mouth, where my voice comes from. And this block shows up there and it's like, Oh, perfect, Thanks for, for really showing me what's going on here. And the greatest medicine to healing myself from this and it ended up being a pretty aggressive type of cancer was to sing. I literally sang myself into wellness. “

How Ayurvedic medicine treats illness.

This beautiful medicine has been passed down through through the vocal cords and through this heart resonance. And the sutras all basically tell us the different angles in which to heal ourselves through Earth medicine. It's just incredible. I'm so grateful that I found it. It's perfect.

What a typical Ayurvedic consultation looks like.

So the three main doshes are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. And each of these doshas basically create us, and they do this beautiful dance within our body and every single person has their own unique combination of the doshas, even though there's three of them, there's no single person in the whole entire world who express their doses the same way as someone else. We're snowflakes.
