Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “The Science of Life.” Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is often called the “Mother of All Healing.” In the U.S., treatment for substance misuse and addiction is often centered around the medical-disease model, but the Ayurvedic model reframes this, focusing on the importance of balance within the body. Ayurvedic practices restore balance to the body, which can increase a person's capability to self-heal. In this special episode, I speak with Jessica Ferrol, an Ayurvedic physician, yoga therapist, licensed mental health counselor, Hakomi practitioner and herbalist who works with people who are working on making changes in their lives, including those healing from addiction. Jessica is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to using Ayurveda's holistic practices to relieve stress and shift the way we interact with our bodies and with the world. Listen in to learn:what Ayurveda is and how we can use it's practices to impact our overall well beinghow a single yoga class led Jessica to the practice of Ayurvedahow we can use everything from food, body and environment as healing therapieswhy it's important to find your body's own cycle and rhythm as you look to become healthier mentally and physicallywhat happens when we leave ourselves lasthow today's culture can contribute to substance use versus more natural remedies for dis-easethat discomfort is normal and wanting to move away from it is humanabout the practice of coming back home to youpractical ways for calming the mind and bodya morning and evening practice to begin with if your stress level is hightips for those who have lost or gained weight as the result of their stresswhy slow, small change is ok You can find the full transcript and resources in the show notes: www.brendazane.com/hopestream/37If you’re a mom who needs strength, hope, and support while your child is experimenting with or addicted to drugs or recovering from addiction, please join our private, positive online community, The Stream, at www.brendazane.com/thestream.Download my free ebook “HINDSIGHT: 3 Things I Wish I Knew When My Son Was Addicted to DrugsHopestream is listener-supported.
