Ep #64 How Disease Unfolds in the Body and Mind

06/29/20 • 27 min

In Ayurveda we know that health begins with digestion. But disease also begins within the digestive tract. 6 Stages of disease map out the development of illness from Accumulation, Aggravation, Overflow, Relocation, Manifestation and Diversification. By knowing these stages for each dosha, you can better identify where you are on the path of disease and how to heal from the root cause.
