Clinical Immersion with Vaidya Janardhana Hebbar
When a client comes for treatment, a Langhana procedure usually helps to revive Jatharagni and Dhatuagni, clear srotases, and enable the person to better absorb the benefits of further Brimhana or Rasayana therapies and herbs.
This method of Langhana first and then Brimhana/Rasayana can be planned with Panchakarma, Upakarma therapies, or even with herbs.
In this Clinical Immersion session, Dr. Hebbar will explain this concept with real case studies.

Chai with CAAM with Anumeha Gupta
As an Ayurveda professional, you may notice that some clients repeat the same patterns despite following the right diet, lifestyle, and recommendations.
