Acupuncture, gua sha, ashwaganda - as a lot of East/South Asian medicine become more popularized in western society, we wanted to discuss what happens when East meets West.

This week we discuss Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, and "traditional" aka western medicine with special guest, Dr. Sandeepa Mullady, an Indian-American neurologist who is trained in western medicine but who is very spiritually-centered and grew up seeing Ayurvedic doctors.

We discuss how the thousand years-long practices from Eastern medicine are focused on preventative care, maintaining the balance of mind, body, and soul, whereas western medicine continues to make impressive technological advances but is largely focused on fixing what is already broken. How have these two sides of medicine started to integrate with each other, and what benefits can we gain from utilizing both? Listen in to find out!
