Alternative Medicine Watch: The San Francisco Chronicle says that stressed out baby-boomers are turning to Ayurveda, an ancient Asian approach to medicine:
Central to Ayurvedic medicine is the concept that there are three governing forces at work inside the body, called doshas. Each corresponds to elements found in nature, and each is present in all of us to varying degrees.
It is when our doshas get out of balance that trouble strikes, and Ayurvedic medicine then uses various means, including diet, behavior changes and body treatments, to pacify an overexpressed dosha.
