  • National Ayurvedic Medical Association (map)

Monday, October 23, 2023 at 5:00 pm with Julia Arnold, PhD, MS (Ayu)

This presentation will outline how knowledge of Ayurveda may contribute to and benefit from current systems biology methodologies. It will address some of the challenges of scientific validation of Ayurvedic principles and practices within the biomedical community. It will briefly discuss research in Ayurvedic botanical resources used for cancer as well as investigations of body constitution (prakriti), digestion (agni and ama), and mind-body health in relation to cancer. Dr. Arnold will also talk about current research gaps and opportunities for validation of Ayurvedic interventions. 


Dr. Arnold has 40+ years of experience in cancer research and has an Master’s in Ayurveda. She has worked in a laboratory at the NIH-NCCAM (now NCCIH) and in grant support at the NIH-NCI.
