What ayurveda and yoga therapies offer them is really well.
Imagine finding a way to heal that’s been around for over 5,000 years. In this episode of 'Hopestream', host Brenda Zane chats with Jessica Ferrol, an Ayurvedic physician and yoga therapist, about the ancient practice of Ayurveda and its potential to help those battling addiction. Jessica, who is also a licensed mental health counselor and herbalist, shares her journey into Ayurveda and how it reshaped her understanding of healing and wellness.
Ayurveda, which translates to 'The Science of Life' in Sanskrit, offers a holistic approach that contrasts with the typical medical-disease model prevalent in the U.S. Jessica explains how this ancient practice focuses on balancing the body to enhance its self-healing capabilities. From the food we eat to the colors we surround ourselves with, every element plays a role in our well-being. Jessica provides practical Ayurvedic techniques that can be easily incorporated into daily life to reduce stress and foster self-care.
She highlights the importance of mindful eating, personal connections, and maintaining a positive focus. By tuning into our bodies and environment, we can create a balanced state that supports recovery and overall wellness. Whether you're new to Ayurveda or looking for alternative methods to support addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Brenda and Jessica's discussion is both enlightening and accessible, making ancient wisdom relevant for today's challenges.
