Events and Classes
with Dr. CrottaDeveloping good health is not that difficult, most people just don’t know where to start and how to go about it. The ancient system of Ayurveda gives us many simple tools to stimulate our body’s innate healing abilities. Ayurveda emphasizes the approach of prevention and early detection to reduce imbalances in the body, mind and emotions that are associated with disease.
In these lectures you will gain the knowledge necessary to take charge of your own health in a natural way through the understanding of the effects of foods, lifestyle, daily routine, exercises, mental and emotional factors on your health. Always remember: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Nevertheless, these lectures are also very valuable for those who already suffer from any kind of disease.
Dr. Crotta is a licensed Heilpraktiker (German naturopathic degree) from German and has a PhD in Physiology and Ayurvedic Medicine from the USA.

A routine in accord with nature enlists the support of nature, helps to synchronize a person’s biological clock, prevents premature aging, aids digestion, absorption and assimilation, and generates self-esteem, peace, happiness and longevity. Disregarding these natural cycles increases the wear and tear on the mind/body system. at Fairfax Library, 2097 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Fairfax, CA

FREE PUBLIC LECTURE 7:00 – 8:30 pm “Food is Your Best Medicine” Hippocrates proclaimed: “He who does not know food…, how can he understand the diseases of man?” Food is essential to life; it is fundamental in determining health or disease. However, modern medicine does not include the study of food; therefore it is rarely used as a treatment. In Ayurvedic Medicine food is always one of the first avenues to be pursued in the healing process. Everybody should know the impact of food on their health. at Fairfax Library , 2097 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Fairfax, CA
