Ayurvedic Medicine with Dr. Verma
Integrative medicine draws from the principles of Ayurveda, which is arguably the world’s most ancient and intricate medicinal system. Ayurveda states that the mind and body are inextricably connected. There is nothing more powerful than using the mind to heal the body. To be free from illness depends on an individual’s ability to bring their mental awareness into balance.
Ayurvedic medicine comes naturally to Dr. Verma, as she is of Eastern-Indian origin, with these theories flowing through her veins. Born and raised in America Dr. Verma has the advantage of harmonizing Western and Eastern medicine. As a 1st generation Indian in America, she grew up always finding a way to bridge these two cultures.
Dr. Verma firmly believes that everyone should be given a chance to create a happier and healthier version of their existence. The preservation of health is easier than the cure of disease.
Always be proactive, never reactive.
Be healthy. Be happy. Be awesome.
Namaste.
