For the past few months, Dr. Somesh N. Kaushik’s Ayurveda and Naturopathic Clinic has occupied a small space in a rustic building in Yellow Monkey Village, Cross River. This month the clinic is moving into a larger building across the center lawn, and Kaushik will host a grand opening celebration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., September 10.

The new center will house an Ayurvedic and naturopathic clinic and shop, Ayur Bazaar, where medical consultations and treatments, as well as Ayurvedic supplements, herbs, teas, oils and other articles, will be available. The center will offer Ayurvedic detoxification therapies such as panchakarma, rejuvenation and anti-aging therapies.

The September 10 open house will include a tour of the clinic and shop, a demonstration of Ayurvedic diagnosis techniques and a buffet sampling of Ayurvedic healing foods. The event will culminate with raffles for a 20 percent discount on a first treatment and a gift basket of Ayurvedic teas and oils. Kaushik, who also has offices in New York City and White Plains, will be on hand to meet visitors and discuss the Ayurvedic approach to health and healing.

One of the most experienced Ayurvedic physicians in North America, Kaushik is a recipient of the Dhanwantri Award, his profession’s highest honor. He travels extensively giving lectures on Ayurveda.

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old medical system promoting the balance of body, mind and spirit. With naturopathy, Kaushik merges modern, science-based principles with this ancient system to create a holistic path to wellness. He holds degrees in Ayurvedic and naturopathic medicine and a master’s degree in public health and administration, and has more than 30 years’ experience in various healing modalities. He specializes in treating chronic conditions, finding and eliminating the root cause while treating the symptoms. Diet, yoga and lifestyle changes are important parts of his treatment plan.
