Episode 9: Finding Healing at the Root Level with Dr. Nisha Khanna

09/09/20 • 61 min

Board certified internist and Ayurvedic practitioner Dr. Nisha Khanna takes an inspirational, layered, and modern approach to medicine. In her blended practice, Nisha incorporates traditional western medicine, offering telemedicine to patients, as well as mind-body-spirit treatments plans in which she incorporates Ayurveda and other ancient modalities. She often takes a look at the physical ailments and then dives deeper by considering the emotional, mental, and spiritual components. This allows for the discovery of unresolved trauma and a better understanding of the roots of manifesting disease. In her illuminating conversation with Shrankhla, Nisha points out the ways Ayurveda can offer us illuminating feedback on our health, the questions we can all ask about ourselves, and how to find the true roots to a wellness issue.

Years ago, Dr. Zohreh Sadeghi had hit “rock bottom.” She was diagnosed with IBS, anxiety, depression, and many other ailments. “I had tried everything,” she tells Shrankhla, but nothing truly helped her—until she discovered Ayurveda. To say the least, she dived right into the practice and moved to Kerala, India. “The decision to pursue Ayurveda was completely an overnight decision for me,” she says. “It was something that I can’t quite explain. It was a voice within me.” What ensued was a path of healing, learning, and liberation—and eventually, a new career. Since, Zohreh has founded Roha, an Ayurvedic healing center in San Francisco. She dives deep with Shrankhla to unpack all that Ayurveda has taught her.

Damian Hagglund was brought into being by an Australian mother and Swedish father. He was born in Bali and grew up in India with traditional and tribal Ayurveda as a way of life. He has been living and educating in the west for fifteen years and is excited to share his perspective on health and wellness in today’s times, particularly how Ayurveda unlocked the key to his digestive health. “I recall having a personal realization that by taking care of my stomach, and having a proper digestion, I was able to digest Ama that wasn’t just from my day-to-day life but Ama that was present in my body from years and years ago,” he tells us.
