Ayurveda explained: An Enlightening Conversation with Dr. JV Hebbar

About this episode

Dr. JV Hebbar discusses the principles of Ayurveda and its impact on health and wellness.

Why does Ayurveda say that all disease begins in the stomach? What daily practices help prevent illness? In this rare and enlightening conversation, Vaidya Dr. JV Hebbar shares the full scope of Ayurveda, explained simply, but with deep insight. We explore the root causes of disease, the role of Agni (digestive fire), and powerful detox and rejuvenation therapies. Dr. Hebbar also unpacks the subtle importance of daily routines, mindful eating, and inner balance for lasting health. Learn how the mental qualities of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas influence your well-being, and why your relationships and community matter just as much as your diet. Whether you're new to Ayurveda or seeking deeper clarity, this is a rare opportunity to learn from a true master.
