From Dr. Nancy Lonsdorf
If you are like most women I see, you are seeking a deeper perspective on your health, and a more natural approach to improving it. Whether it is menopause, PMS, fatigue, poor digestion or another concern, you want to know why you have your symptoms, and how you can eliminate them by truly healing from within, without drugs and their harmful side-effects whenever possible.
These are core issues I address every day in my women's health practice, where I have been using the ancient healing wisdom of Maharishi Ayurveda (MAV) for the past 23 years. I have found MAV to be an amazingly simple, natural and comprehensive approach that consistently improves a wide variety of health concerns by addressing them at a deeper level, without harmful side-effects.
MAV works with your body's healing intelligence to correct underlying imbalances and help you feel good again. Over and over again, I have seen that feeling better can be as simple as following just one or two self-care tips. How is that possible? Because the tremendous balancing power of nature resides within us and is always trying to restore us to our true nature in perfect health. We must simply begin to give it the support it needs!
