Published: Nov. 30, 2023, 3 a.m.

What is Ayurveda? How can it help kids with ADHD? Is there any science to back it up? Amish Shah explains more in this episode of the Soaring Child podcast.\xa0

Amish Shah is a savvy entrepreneur, a yoga guru, a filmmaker, and someone on a personal quest for healing. When traditional medicine had no answers for him, he took matters into his own hands and dug into the world of ancient wisdom.

He captured all of this in a must-watch documentary called The Natural Law, which is available to view at https://thenaturallaw.com/. In this film, Amish opens up about his own healing journey and takes a hard look at the shortcomings of Western medicine. He also shows us the incredible healing power that comes from balancing our mind, our body, and our spirit, especially through Ayurveda.

In this episode, learn more about Ayurveda, its application for ADHD, and much more as we explore the healing power of balance in our lives.

Memorable Moments:

\u201dAyurveda saved my life\u2026I\u2019ve dedicated my life to this.\u201d

\u201dMy doctors refused to give me a gluten test actually\u2026They said there was no way I was allergic to gluten. I had two different doctors tell me that.\u201d

\u201dIt\u2019s not what the doctors are taught. As much as we want to blame the doctors, we have to blame the system that gives the doctors the information in the first place.\u201d

\u201dAyurveda is a 5000-year-old science. It comes from ancient India. It\u2019s been time-tested over thousands of years literally\u2026It\u2019s survived because there\u2019s something about the truth, and the truth is timeless. If it\u2019s survived this long, that means it\u2019s working. It has worked, and it will continue to work.\u201d

\u201dWe must live in accordance to nature, and there are certain laws in nature that if we go out of bounds, we will become out of balance.\u201d

\u201dEverything in the universe consists of the 5 elements: ether\u2026air\u2026fire\u2026water\u2026earth.\u201d

\u201dThe 3 doshas are anything that moves, anything that transforms, and anything that has structure.\u201d

\u201dWe want to take certain herbs and foods - they all have a certain amount of these 5 elements and we all have a certain amount of these 5 elements - so if something is off, we use a plant that will reduce it. We take out the foods that are inflaming it.\u201d

\u201cWe have this guide that was produced thousands of years ago that catalogued 9000 plants that have 25000 recipes for everything from chronic conditions to cancers to everyday stomach aches.\u201d

\u201dAyurveda says that disease starts in the mind, number one, yes, but it crystallizes in the body. And where disease starts - once your mind has come up with it - it starts in the gut. It manifests in the gut.\u201d

\u201cYour gut is responsible for everything. Clean gut means good mind.\u201d

\u201dAyurveda practitioners will spend a minimum of 45 minutes with you.\u201d

\u201dOnly treat unhappiness\u2026because a lot of what\u2019s happening comes from there. So the mind, body, spirit or self-awareness connection are so critical in Ayurveda.\u201d

\u201dThe herbs that came from Ayurveda are now being proven to have efficacy.\u201d

\u201dScience is now catching up to this ancient wisdom.\u201d
