The Ayurvedic Understanding of the Disease Process
This episode looks at the Ayurvedic understanding of how disease begins in the body and mind. Rather than focusing on symptoms, it explains how imbalances in digestion, doshas, and emotional patterns give rise to illness.

In this episode, you will learn:
- How Vata drives 70% of imbalances
