DISCOVER HOW TO HEAL
Written by John Immel, Ayurvedic medicine is adjective medicine. Western medicine is noun medicine. Ayurveda believes adjective medicine brings us into a relationship with the nouns. Experience brings meaning to knowledge. Ayurveda interprets knowledge and helps us prioritize conflicting knowledge. While nouns can be studied objectively by scientists and are more relevant to public health at the government level, relationship is more relevant to the person, family, and community. Adjectives offer us the best personal tools to relate to the world around us. READ MORE ON THIS TOPIC

His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion.
