Dr. Matt Van Auken is a triple board-certified, multistate-licensed medical doctor. He has extensive, multi-specialty medical experience. He is also the founder and clinical director of The Buddha’s Medicine, an Ayurvedic medical practice in Portland, Oregon, and he loves to take on complex and ambiguous cases, in particular.

  • Dr. Matt's journey from medical doctor to the founder of his Ayurvedic medical practice.
  • Ayurveda's approach to herbal medicine versus modern pharmacology.
  • What is dravya guna and why it's fundamental to Ayurvedic medicine.
  • How Ayurveda classifies dravya and the key principles that guide their usage.
  • How dravya guna takes into account environmental factors like season, climate, and geography.
  • Dr. Matt shares case studies of healing his clients through the application of dravya guna principles.
