The Best Medicine: Foods That Heal, Part 2

Vegetables and Seaweeds

A Free Five-Part Discussion Series

Thursday, April 10, 5:30-7 PM
Greenstar Co-op, Ithaca NY

A healthy diet is invaluable for the vitality of all bodily systems. Healing that results from proper eating is not coincidental. Similar to herbal medicine, food has specific therapeutic properties. If diet is used correctly for prevention and treatment, other medicines are required much less frequently — if at all.

In this five-part series, Amanda Lewis, licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, will discuss the health benefits of five major food groups, drawing on insights from traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, as well as current Western knowledge.

This second class will focus on the nutritional and medicinal uses of vegetables and seaweeds. Amanda will pass around visual samples of the less common foods for identification. All classes are free and open to the public and will be held in the Classrooms@GreenStar (former Enterprise Building), 700 W. Buffalo Street. Registration is required - sign up at GreenStar's Customer Service Desk or call 273-9392.

Awakening the Radiance of the Divine Feminine

Using Principles of Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine

Wednesday, October 16th

5:30-7pm Greenstar

 Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine teach that everyone has a unique “personal constitution” characterized by specific physical and mental traits. We can experience greater ease in our lives by working with our constitution while living in harmony with the greater rhythms of daily, monthly, yearly, and life cycles.

    In this class we’ll discuss ways of understanding and balancing the changes that happen during the stages of a woman’s life, including puberty, menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, menopause, and aging gracefully.

    Learn practical tips to move more smoothly through life’s transitions using rejuvenation techniques, such as healthy food, herbal tonics, acupuncture, and meditation.

    By working with some of the fundamental principles of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, we can deepen our self-awareness, strengthen our intuition, and harness our inner radiance to become more empowered healers of our bodies and the world.

Sex, Vitality, & the Role of the Kidneys

Sex, Vitality, & the Role of the Kidneys
Amanda Lewis, L.Ac.
February 20, 2013, 5:30 - 7 pm

In Chinese Medicine, the kidneys are considered the foundation of the body, the root of all yin and yang aspects. How vibrant we feel has a lot to do with the strength of our kidneys, as they regulate growth, development, reproduction, sexual health, and our ability to handle to stress. In this class, we will discuss how acupuncture, diet, and certain herbal remedies and supplements can be used to address the following life processes that the kidneys govern: Energy, Warmth, and Sexual Vitality; Growth and Development of the Mind and Body; and Urinary and Reproductive Health.

At the end of the class, Amanda will lead a brief tour through Greenstar, pointing out the various foods and herbs highlighted in the class.

Amanda Lewis, a licensed acupuncturist and certified Chinese herbal medicine practitioner, currently sees patients at the PADMA Center for Natural Therapies in Ithaca and also has offices in Binghamton and Bainbridge, NY.
