Holistic Care

Health is often regarded as the absence of a diagnosable organ or psychological disease. In ancient systems of knowledge, such as Ayurveda, an etiology-based approach is taken against disease, aiming at the root cause of a body imbalance–unlike the damage-based model of the current biomedical system which aims at symptom care. Full wellness, we believe, is more than than the latter; it is the presence of a state in which we regain a sense of control of ourselves and interact harmoniously to experience authentic self, wellness, and even higher power. On a relational level, an ability to express compassion for others is a significant measure of well-being. The capacity for the mind to hold concern for others in moments of crisis, suffering, and pain has deeply been overlooked by the medical community as a determinant of one's health. Our work seeks to understand, research, and incorporate health supportive practices to address this gap.

Areas of Focus

• Researching medicine and diet regulation techniques embedded in Ayurvedic knowledge.

• Researching the effects of reductionist philosophy on healthcare outcomes.

• Clinical trials incorporating whole systems of medicine into current strategies or prevention and medical treatments, when complimentary.
