Dr. Somesh Kaushik, an Ayurvedic and naturopathic physician, will lecture on the basic principles of Ayurveda on April 28, from 1 to 3 p.m., at the Katonah Pharmacy. He will also introduce Vedic Nutrients, a new line of Ayurvedic supplements formulated by Ayurvedic physicians, naturopaths and researchers, and now available at the pharmacy. “Ayurveda defines health as a balance of body, mind and spirit,” Kaushik says. “It helps patients achieve balance by determining their body constitution, or dosha, and developing a plan specifically for them.”

During his lecture, Kaushik will discuss how to determine if you are out of balance, simple ways to restore balance, foods and lifestyle practices that help maintain balance, and supplements anyone can use to achieve and maintain wellness. He will focus on several supplements from Vedic Nutrients that can be used by all doshas to achieve and maintain wellness: Withania Plex (nervous system/cognitive support); Triphala Plex (digestive support); Hepatatone (liver support); Guggulu (metabolic support); Turmeric (muscle/joint support); and Brahmi (brain/nervous system support). Vedic Nutrients is the retail line of its professional-line parent company, Sri Sai Nutrients, a co-op that returns all proceeds to farmers and academic institutions for continued production and research.  

Free dosha readings will be included at Kaushik’s lecture, and the supplements will be offered at a discount if purchased that day.
