Asavari, a gold medalist, earned her MD in Ayurveda from the University of Poona. She conducts numerous workshops in Eden Prairie on Ayurveda and its relevance in our lives. In her phenomenally insightful talk, she educated the group on the seasonal changes in the body constitution. Her talk encompassed common ailments in winter and ways to treat them and keep them under control using the Indian kitchen as medical cabinets. In addition, she also stressed upon times when it is best to take the child to the doctor without waiting for too long. The highly interactive discussion led to answering numerous questions related to illnesses, their causes and home remedies. Asavari also talked about the dietary conditions one should follow during winter and when suffering from a particular illness. She brought home an important principle in Ayurveda that compared the body to soil and the disease-causing germs as the seeds. It is important to keep the “soil” infertile for the germs by boosting the body’s immunity so that the “seeds” will not be able to proliferate and grow. It was an extremely fruitful and informative presentation that all the attendees found very practicable, thorough and impressive.
