Summary
Welcome back to another episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon. On this episode, I speak with Soma Ayurvedic founder, Arjun Sampath. Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems, developed thousands of years ago in India. It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Ayurveda takes advantage of plants, flowers, and natural remedies to heal the body and prevent disease.
We talk about the benefits of Ayurvedic ingredients like adaptogenic herbs, like turmeric, in supplements, food, and skincare. Listen in to learn everything you need to know about what Ayurvedic ingredients you should be incorporating into your lifestyle for better health and wellness!
