Ayurveda - Literally meaning the "Science of life", Ayurveda is an entire system of alternative medicine that originates in ancient India. It's philosophy, over 5000 years old, aims to prevent illness and promote health by balancing the mind, body and spirit. It aims to treat the whole person by providing a system of holistic healthcare.
In our first interactive talk of the year, Dr Dana Bezanav Urban, an Ayurvedic Practitioner who also has a PhD in Pharmacy from KCL, will give us an overview of its theory, clinical applications and evidence for its effectiveness. Dr Urban’s work in both western and eastern medicine gives her a unique blend of experience to talk about Ayurvedic medicine and its uses today.
The event is FREE FOR ALL and will be taking place on…

Venue: Anatomy Lecture Theatre, Guy's Campus
Time: 6.30pm - 7.30pm
