These days, Western medical professionals are incorporating ancient Eastern practices into their healing repertoire. Considered the “mother of all natural medicines,” Ayurvedic methods commonly are used-such as herbs, massage, yoga, and acupuncture-as complementary alternative and preventative treatments. The basis of Ayurvedic medicine is prevention achieved through balance. On Wednesday, March 4, from 7-9 p.m., at the Gibian Wellness Center (1522 State St., 451-0819, gibianwellness.com) Dr. Paul Dugliss, of Ayurvedic and Internal Medicine, will give a lecture exploring the “Ayurvedic keys to living a longer, healthier, and happier life.” For more information about Dr. Dugliss and the projects he’s working on, visit drdugliss.com or newworldayurveda.com.
