Ayurveda “The Science of Life”

Presenter

I am Dr Oscar O’ Duchon, a retired GP Family doctor of 30 years’ experience practice in UK and Ireland. I studied Ayurveda with the Ayurvedic Institute of UK and completed both Diploma in Ayurvedic Lifestyle and Nutrition and Diploma Ayurveda Practitioner. I work as a Ayurvedic Practitioner in Belfast and I am also an NHS accredited Health and Wellness Coach. I’m passionate about the role Ayurveda can play in improving people’s health through tailored digestive nutritional advice and lifestyle modificati

In this show I will introduce the listener to the ancient system of medicine Ayurveda which is still in use today and growing in popularity worldwide. I will explain the origins and principles of Ayurveda and give clear, simple and understandable explanations for how it can work in our modern lives.

I will discuss how Ayurveda can connect us to our own nature as well as the wider world of nature. We are all part of nature and need to restore those connections in our daily lives. I will interview like minded therapists and health experts to discuss their approach to health and wellness. These shows aim to reflect the growing move away from the narrow confines of conventional medicine to a deeper, holistic, and personalised view of health and wellness.

Ayurveda is a nature-based system of medicine which uses food, herbal remedies, and herbal based medications to achieve balance of body and mind. So much of the root causes of illness today are caused by our digestion and our lifestyle. Especially physical illnesses and disease.

We hold onto unprocessed emotional and psychological scars or trauma which causes us mental and psychological illness which can manifest as physical symptoms. These connections between our physical symptoms and past emotional and psychological issues if not resolved lead to further health problems and illnesses.

Ayurveda teaches us how everything in our lives affects our wellbeing and state of health. On this show, I hope to show you how learning about Ayurveda will benefit you and your health now and into the future.
