• Monday, April 13, “Coping with COVID, Building Immunity with Ayurveda & Integrative Medicine” with Dr. Akil Palanisamy, a Harvard-trained physician who practices Integrative Medicine at The Institute for Health and Healing in San Francisco, one of the oldest centers for integrative medicine in the United States. Ayurveda, India’s ancient system of healing, defines good health not by the absence of disease, but the presence of physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. Integrative medicine, a modern holistic medical discipline, views health through the patient’s physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental influences. Are these systems complementary? What role do they play in cultivating good health? How can ancient practices be combined with modern medicine to help build immunity?
