Many years ago, my profoundly gifted 7-year-old once learned the periodic table, and the teacher punished this effort by taking away the star points and being upset with. me -the parent. This is a public school in USA-compare to India where teacher would have rewarded. She told me, "I dont care about the periodic table and the fact your kid has memorized it, I care about my students learning time management and organization in school". This was a school in Escondido california. I immediately took my kid out and we went to a private school/and also tried homeschooling. From an Ayurvedic perspective Public School ecosystems do NOT make sense especially the schedule, the militant structure and homework that will make a grown man GROAN--but no, it is good for the kids. Our kids do not need to go to a FACTORY! It is not the schools fault--but the eco-system of test scores, and federal funding--and here's a podcast I did about why the public school schedules dont make sense and HOW to fix it!!

In Ayurveda, Shotha (also known as Shopha or Shvayathu) is a fundamental pathological condition that is often correlated with the modern concept of inflammation. However, Shotha is a broader and more nuanced term that encompasses not only the localized inflammatory response but also a wide range of swelling conditions, including edema and effusions, from a holistic perspective. Our focus will be onon Menopause, Digestion and how our diet, habits, karma and energetics are affecting this inflammation.

We will cover how to manage shotha through holistic and natural means, by helping balance our our dosas, Srotas -obstruction of channels, the affect on fluid channels (udakavaha srotas), and how to pacify this condition holistically through some basic herbs, diet, and meditation.

Shotha corelates to inflammation. However, Shotha is a broader and more nuanced term that also includes energetic and karmic response that is affected by our thinking, diet, lifestyle and karma. You will learn about herbs, meditation, diet for this and more in this webinar. ($10-20 donation)
